BRAND NEW [WEDNESDAY]

New Year, New Clothes

January 2, 2008

Our New Years resolutions are to eat healthier, exercise more and buy new clothes while the sales are on. Your New Years resolution should be to stop by cool new store You and Whose Army on Water Street in Gastown. This boutique specializes in hip threads and cool urban accessories.  They carry great stuff like Gsus Industries, Fathom Clothing, Vintage wear and designer T-shirts. In fact, these guys import some of the coolest street wear brands from London, New York and Montreal.  The space also serves as an art gallery. The walls are adorned with interesting local paintings you might like too.  If you happen to be in the hood, stop by for an art show during the third week of January.

Nestled amidst tourist trap stores, YAWA (as it is affectionately known) recently relocated from the West End, and has joined other newcomers like Mavi Jeans and older established shops like Block and Two of a Few in lifting the Gastown shopping scene up another notch.

Time to exercise your credit card.

You and Whose Army, 385 Water Street, 604-684-9292.
