Vancouver shop notes: Gaga for Gaya

When it comes to handbags, spotted, strapped, tasselled or brightly hued is the new black. Fitting the bill on all those fronts is the latest collection from Vancouver brand Gaya (gaya.ca). A mint-coloured clutch with a black-and-white spotted pocket and key closure is cool for cocktail hour, and a python-patterned purse dripping in leather fringe dials up your everyday basics.
