Hunter & Hare is a new consignment store opening at 334 West Pender Street this weekend. We recently popped our heads in to check things out and, although the team was still setting up shelving and just beginning their merchandising, the aesthetic and overall vision were clearly taking shape.

The store will sell both men’s and women’s clothing as well as a small selection of accessories and small items for the home. Think Jordan River Soap, seeds from Strathcona 1890 Urban Seed Collection, stationary from Dani Press, crystal pendants from Charles & Grace, HeyDay Designs candles from P.F. Candle Co., and more. The look, feel, and concept is similar to that of Front & Co. on Main Street.

Owners Joanne Bousaleh and Micki Cole both have a background in the fashion industry and knew shortly after they met that they wanted to open a shop together, a place that cultivated good style while following a path that encouraged waste reduction rather than over consumption. A consignment store was a perfect fit. The long search for a space finally ended when the two signed on to move into the increasingly awesome Victoria Block between Homer and Hamilton (where you will also find The Paper Hound and recently opened Cinara).

Hunter & Hare will open this Saturday, May 24th. Drop in to the shop between 5pm-8pm that evening for an opening party where you can check out the space and meet the people behind it.
