by Robyn Yager | Oliver & Lilly’s is located on 1520 West 13th Avenue in the South Granville neighbourhood. The store is perfect for finding essential and high-quality classic pieces including APC denim, Steven Alan button-ups, and Charlotte Hosten jewelry. This summer they’ll be relocating to West 6th Avenue (between Fir and Granville), sharing the same air as Beaucoup Bakery.

How long has Oliver & Lilly’s been open for and what made you decide on the South Granville neighbourhood? South Granville was the perfect place for us to start Oliver & Lilly’s. We live in the neighbourhood, love its history, and can walk to work (super ideal). This August, we will be celebrating our 5th anniversary.

How would you describe the store’s style and what kinds of pieces do you look for when choosing what to carry? We really gravitate towards effortless and understated ways of dressing. Building our buy around a base of essentials and working from there. I love my jeans & tee’s and need a dress now and again too. So, I’ll mix the store up with that in mind. Most importantly the clothing has to be livable, well-made, and functional.

How would you describe Vancouver’s style? Vancouver has a great mix of style; from laid back to super chic. It’s a stylish city.

What is one item you believe everyone girl should own in their wardrobe? A pair of Black High Rise Skinny Jeans.

Where do you find inspiration in your own style and for Oliver and Lilly’s? Sunday mornings, my girlfriends, certain genres of films, and some street style, too. I fill our Tumblr page with all things thereof, and use that as our inspiration board.
