We will be open from noon – 5PM


Today is the day that our online store has launched! To everyone who kept asking us for this feature-we hope you love it. As a thank you we are offering free shipping within Canada for the month of November.

And now we’re going to have a bit of a rest.
Who knew uploading pictures could be so exhausting?!

Here are the new arrivals we received from Larry designs. In a word they are…perfect! The alpaca and wool is sourced locally and are handmade in Vancouver. Each piece is left dye-free so the colours are beautiful and natural.

The boys love Larry too!

We have the sweetest pillow cases from the new home style line from NaMoDa. They’ve arrived just as we’re all getting ready to snuggle into our homes for the winter…or at least that’s what I’m dreaming about!

These 14″ cases are handprinted on bamboo voile or cotton/hemp.

It’s true that we love our  main street boutique  but the only downside is that many of you are more than a hop, skip, or a jump away from us!

We’re so happy to announce the upcoming launch of our online store on

November 9, 2009.

The countdown is on….

Time to face the music! Fall is here to stay and it’s impossible not to wonder what we’re in for this season. Do you remember what it was like last year when we opened?! SHIVER.

We have some great winter coats in the store right now. Sizes are going quickly so please, please, please don’t wait until the snowflakes are flying to come in!

This weekend we are also introducing amazing locally knit scarves by Larry designs. They are beautiful, and you can’t really get more sustainable! Check them out

It might be the brisk air that’s creeping around us or the few Christmas decorations that have been popping up (poor Halloween doesn’t get much of a moment), but these new arrivals have us thinking of parties and not ones that involve glitter wigs! Here are some favorites so far…

They’re here! They’re here! We’ve been oh so patient for our shipment of S(eco)nd denim’s “yoga” jean from Montreal. We have two styles (black skinny jean $110, and dark rinse boot cut, $100) and it was love at first try for both of them. If you want to see why they live up to their name check out the video below

You know how we love our unique jewellery here at body politic and these new earrings are no exception. We have an assortment of feather earrings handmade by, well – the birds, but also a fantastic artist from Kelowna. They are elegant with an edge and so fun! More colours and sizes in store. ($20-$40).
