Gatley is a hidden gem on Commerical Drive.
“Gatley is the best place to wander in accidentally and leave with your new favourite item!” says customer Marisa Pahl. “It is beautifully curated, fun and functional with a thoughtful, eco-aware and socially conscious edge.”
The boutique stocks all kinds of lovely local brands like Portobello West accessory vendors Lana Betty and Jen Ellis Designs plus Pillar by Allison Wonderland, Forest & Waves, and Peau De Loup. Not too mention Canadian brands like the organic clothing brand Meemoza from Montreal and Ugly Bunny jewellery from Kelowna. There are wall hangings, bags, socks, belts, and candles too but the reason people swear by Gatley is owner Wendy Newton.
“She is super helpful and patient; especially when you are overwhelmed with so many amazing things in one place,” says customer Rachael Stableford. “I’m down with Gatley because of the unreal customer service, understanding attitude and selection of things!”
So while we await the September edition of Portobello West [Van], wander down to 1136 Commercial Drive so Gatley can satiate your need locally designed clothes and accessories.
