The Shopping Diary: September 2008

Dermalogica introduces a new line of shaving products formulated specifically for men (though women will love the ultra-smooth close shave oil, $30). Dermalogica.ca for retail locations

Enda B is the exclusive Western Canadian carrier of Penny Black, an Italian line of sophisticated separates. Think three-quarter-sleeve, belted wool coats in mustard yellow. 4346 W. 10th Ave., 604-228-1214.

Komakino picks up and moves shop, landing in Chinatown for the sixth iteration of the roving shop concept. Look for surprisingly elegant canvas high-top sneakers by Julius. Intrepid owner Campbell McDougall has opened a new shop, Darklands, in Berlin, should you find yourself in that part of the world. Komakino 6.0, 111 B E. Pender St., 604-618-1344.
