Beaton Linen is a BC company that makes beautifully designed and effortlessly stylish clothing. This long weekend, the good folks from Lund are carting down a load of their lovely clothes to show at the tiny (yet mighty) Strathcona shop, Picnics & Poetry. You won’t be able to scoop everything you see on their website at the pop-up, but there will be a good selection of pants, jumpsuits, dresses, and shirts from old stock to new stock, all sizes and colours. Hightail it down to the East Hastings store to shop now through September 5th. More details here.
