Clothes Kitten

(Aug.12.08)
We learned a long time ago that Calgary’s shopping finds go far beyond cowboy boots. (Plus we love the one-tax land bonus.)
With South Granville’s new Purr boutique, we no longer need a flight to steal their fashion sense.
With two well-established locations in Calgary’s trendy 17th Avenue and Kensington areas, the mini-chain has a loyal, sophisticated hipster following—and given that nothing exceeds $250, it’s no wonder why.
Everything you need for a great fall wardrobe is in the bright and airy new space, which bears little resemblance to the Jennifer Kostuik gallery that once stood there. It may be too hot for jeans, but we knew we’d be coveting new Fidelity denim ($59-198) in a few weeks. We picked up a pair of those, as well as a flowy Free People sweater ($124-160) and affordable tops by Only and Kersh ($30-100) to wear with them. Dresses by Vero Moda ($50-100) are on our future hit list, and we’re sure to stock up for fall with lines like Fred Perry, BB Dakota and Velvet.
Now if only there was a way to do it without the extra sales tax…
