Today's local business, Violette Boutique is a favourite of mine, and I thought it would be great to talk about with Mother's Day coming up so soon. In previous years I have bought my mom Mother's Day gifts and cards from them.
Located at the corner of Government and Yates in downtown Victoria, this store has been around since 2015 and is family owned by Lee and her daughter Erin.
With many Canadian companies including Leah Alexandra, Poppy Finch, Glow Jar, Midnight Paloma and more it's a treasure trove for little gems. I absolutely love the fact that they carry so many Canadian companies, and that they have even held trunk shows where you have a chance to meet the designers/ owners of the companies. I've only had a chance to attend two but I'm looking forward to going to more in the future!
The first time I visited the shop was actually because they were one of the only places I could find that carried my favourite papery brand, Rifle Paper Co. and after that visit in 2018 I was hooked. It was funny because the staff eventually knew me by name because of how often I came by.
It was as if I had opened pandora's box. Not only did they carry jewelry but they also carry Rebecca Minkoff purses, stationary by different companies such as Moglea, who does hand painted cards in the USA, candles by Vancouver Candle Co. and ceramics by one of their staff, Alyx Gallacher Ceramics.
So if you're looking for something sweet for Mother's day, whether you're buying it for your mom or dropping a hint to your kids, Violette Boutique has lots of great products.
Check out their Instagram, violetteboutique for aesthetically pleasing photos and flatlays as well as some Mother's Day inspiration.
