Boutique
Le Trou, 940 Queen Street West (2006 - Now Closted)
Boutique Le Trou, one of Toronto’s favorite
Candian-stocked shops, is never empty. At any given time, you’re
sure to run into a stylist, designer or artist milling about the
tiny West Queen West chiffonier.
Self-appointed mother figure to undiscovered talent
in Toronto and nurturer of all the more deserving designers, owner
Marlene Shiff has soo many visiting friends.
Maybe it’s because of her dedication and
support for Canadian fashion: every hand-picked piece she sells
in her store is by a Canadian designer – or perhaps as a result
of the gallery-like setting of Le Trou, a presentation of the talent
she peddles including Zoran Dobric, Yuki Accessories, Obakki,
and Jason Matlo, among others.
Most of the people who shop at Boutique Le Trou
are ‘cultured urbanites” – gallery goers who appreciate
the artistic expression and can afford it!
