Moulé

October 5, 2008

Proof that the prairies produce more than wheat and NHL stars, Moulé sells men’s and women’s clothing (running the spectrum from casual to dressy: Odyn jeans, cool cocktail dresses, men’s Penguin shirts) plus home accessories (affordable Umbra pieces or LSA glassware, and collectable Alessi). The Winnipeg-based chain should be your first stop in an 11th-hour panic for the perfect gift. Find Seven Ports painted, glazed vases, Tozai Homes copper bowls, Phuze handmade martini sets ($85 per glass), and a rainbow of leather passport covers and luggage tags ($29) by Abas. But our favourite? The Italian Momo watches (from $595), as in the automotive company that makes accessories like stick shift knobs and steering wheels. Cool. Round the corner and find Lomo cameras (the low-tech camera with a subculture following), jewellery and scented hand creams, or bikinis and underwear. The new kids section on the lower level already has a cult following amoung Kits yummy mummies.
