Vancouver shop notes: Coming Suno

Want a taste of the Big Apple right here at home? South Granville boutique Violet (3012 Granville St., 604-569-1514, violetboutique.ca) is the first to bring three handsome New York–based labels to Vancouver: Erin Fetherston, Whit and, my current obsession, Suno. This pattern-happy line, produced in Kenya, showcases the nation’s artistry and encourages social and economic change. August deliveries bring fall items to the store, including a beautiful floral button-down blouse ($415, shown above, centre) and a graphically gorgeous tie coat ($1,465, shown).
