Dispatch From Vancouver | Store Tour - Production Road

Today we're virtually stopping past times a cute piffling store hither inward Vancouver (in the West End), called Production Road. Annie (whom y'all may every bit good know every bit the designer behind the locally handmade collection, Lemonni, along alongside her partner Hubert, a documentary/commercial lensman run this multifunctional infinite – a studio alongside a retail component. Annie tells us a chip close their space.

"The infinite where Production Road is correct straight off was empty for quite a long time. We had an chance to cause got over the infinite inward belatedly 2012. At that time, nosotros weren't quite certain how precisely nosotros were going to usage the space, but nosotros knew nosotros postulate a studio infinite to piece of job in. So nosotros spent the side past times side few months designing in addition to renovating the space. Since I was developing Lemonni products during that time, nosotros thought, "Why don't nosotros usage it every bit a demo room?" I could showcase my stuff, in addition to Hubert could showcase his photography. And that's how the reckon of combining studio in addition to retail came by.

In the end, nosotros don't only sell Lemonni products, but every bit good other unique products made past times local in addition to international artisans, to a greater extent than oftentimes than non independent. Our infinite is small, but good curated. We reckon it would endure great to select a creative infinite similar this to the West End neighbourhood. The infinite is meant to endure a house of possibilities; the retail infinite doesn't postulate to endure only retail. In the future, we're every bit good opened upwards to ideas of having workshops, pop-up shops, or short-term exhibitions. For now, the store is plenty to choke on us busy! Also, coming together our lovely neighbours everyday has been a nail for both of us!

If you're wondering how nosotros got the refer Production Road... it's a refer of the route where I grew upwards inward Taiwan. There are kokosnoot trees along both sides of the road. Over the past times few decades, the kokosnoot trees were threatened many times to endure cutting downwards due to route expansion. The local community has fought then difficult to choke on those 80-year-old trees there. I hollo back this is the spirit that we'd similar to have. The give-and-take Production every bit good describes what nosotros produce every bit a designer in addition to lensman – nosotros create"
