Jonathan & Olivia



Jonathan & Olivia

We love new things. Whether it is a new pair of shoes or a toothbrush, we can't wait to get them home and rip them out of their packaging. So when we heard that there was a new boutique in the neighborhood we had to check it out. We were not disappointed. We were greeted by a fantastic salesperson and an even more fantastic red A.P.C. cape. It is very Paris meets Toronto, with names like Vanessa Bruno, Helmut Lang and Isabel Marant all canoodling on the same racks. And although you can now find these names in select locations in Toronto, no where have we seen the pieces bought as well as they have been at Jonathan and Olivia. The selection of jeans is not massive, but again looks hand picked, and the selection does not dissapoint.
The shop would satisfy quite a few different style personalities. With the dominant personality being elegant, classics and romantics could also find great staples here. The prices are by no means inexpensive; however you pay for what you get. And in this case it is original and well made pieces. The boys section was just as fabulous. The best of Earnest Sewn's men's jeans were laid out before us and beautiful jackets were hung as far as the eye could see. Our overall impression was that someone had taken the time to sort through all the collections and picked out the best of the best for us to browse through.

So, thank you for valuing our time and recognizing our fantastic taste.
