Inspired. Evolutionary. Connected. Celebratory. Community.

These are words that describe brand visionary Margot Elena and her creative empire. For more than 3 decades, the beauty and wellness guru has been driven by a lifelong desire to create dreamy surroundings visually and through fragrance. Originally from small-town Alberta, she demonstrated an entrepreneurial spirit from a very young age (like, still had baby teeth) and if you covet little luxuries and treasure small, beautiful details, there’s a good chance you’ve come across at least one of her brands. We’re thrilled to carry Library of Flowers at Nicholas Randall – exquisite bath and beauty products in divine packaging (as if the name hadn’t already hooked us)!

We believe there is a little girl with big dreams still alive in all of us and women like Margot Elena show us the alchemy of spinning them into reality✨

Groceries? There’s a Baggu for that.
Gym shoes? There’s a Baggu for that.
Library Books? There’s a Baggu for that.
Wallet and smartphone? There’s a Baggu for that.
Banana? There’s a Baggu for that.
Pet baby quokka (google it, you won’t regret it)? There’s probably a Baggu for that.
You get the idea.

If you haven’t yet been introduced to Canadian brand Brave, please allow us the pleasure!

Founded more than three decades ago by leather crafter Scott Irvine, Brave has charted its own path since its beginning. Each and every piece is designed and manufactured with exceptional care in their Toronto workshop. The intersection of old-world leather practices with modern fabrication technologies means certain elements of every piece are laser-cut, while others are still stitched by hand. And all of these processes are carried out by a family of artisans with various areas of artistic and technical expertise.

In addition, the brand is driven by the principles of ethical manufacturing, and responsibly-sourced, non-toxic, quality materials. Come in and explore their beautiful belts and bags for yourself!

Is there anyone among us who doesn’t share our love for the month of October? We think.....not. The sights! The sounds! The scents! The flavours! We simply can’t get enough. And with Thanksgiving just around the fallen foliage covered corner, we have everything on your checklist for creating an unforgettable dinner.

Start with the tablescape: Sophie Conran dishware, autumnal candles, napkins and placemats……then a cookbook for inspired seasonal recipes, plus edible accoutrements like Saltspring Island Cranberry Compote…..and after the plates have been cleared and the guests have headed home, curl up with a knit blanket and Blume Pumpkin Spice in your favourite mug, and become the veritable poster child of cozy season.

Wishing all of you the very best that this special time of year has to offer, and, with gratitude, Happy Thanksgiving!

We acknowledge the true and traumatic origin story of Canada and honour the healing journeys of the survivors and their families. May we all pause to reflect on the impact of residential schools in Canada and work towards a better future.

Perhaps no other beverage is as globally associated with ceremony as that of a cup of tea – transcending geography, history and culture, it connects us to the earth and to each other. In our corner of the world, where we take influence from both British and Asian culture, tea is a timeless tradition. Our favourite local teamaker is Westholme Tea Company, which is based in the Cowichan Valley here on Vancouver Island and helmed by Victor Vesely. Happily, we invite you to try our specially Nicholas Randall blends: “Afternoon in Oak Bay” and “Wellness”, and create your own ritual!

Did you know that in the Finn & Izzy world, there are two types of “back to school”? There’s the kind that involves new backpacks and fresh notebooks and the anticipation of finding out if you’re in the same class as your bestie....and then there’s the GIVE Back to School Project, which runs all year long with the next round set to begin September 1st!

What exactly is the GBSP, you say? We’re so glad you asked. For every regular priced pair of shoes purchased at Finn & Izzy (valued at $50 or greater), we donate $5 to the school chosen by our customer from a list of 24 selected schools from the Greater Victoria area. For many years, this has been our way of showing our gratitude for the support we have received from our community – a ‘pay it forward’ gesture, if you will. And trust us – it adds up!

As always, we have a broad selection of fall/winter shoes in store and on finnandizzy.com, perfect for keeping kids’ feet warm, dry and comfortable!

Poppy Finch doesn’t just epitomize the Quiet Luxury aesthetic, they practically invented it. Equal parts glamour and simplicity, this line of fine jewelry has wide appeal for good reason. Vogue named Poppy Finch one of the “15 Ethical and Eco Friendly Jewelry Brands to Know Now” and the brand’s timeless elegance makes it as wearable with a wedding gown as with jeans and a T-shirt.

After leaving the corporate banking world ten years ago, designer Amanda He has built her brand around sustainable practices in the fine jewelry industry. She works with local artisans, certified recycled gold suppliers, and gemstone suppliers who share her ethical and conscientious approach to the craft.

If you’re searching for a meaningful gift for a jewelry lover in your life, we can help you find a stunning Poppy Finch piece to start their collection!

Is there a better feeling than slipping into a fresh pair of comfy pjs and crawling into bed after a long day? Survey says…… No. We are longtime groupies of Bedhead pajamas for their range of styles (matching sets in cropped and shorts length are our go-to for the summer months) and fun prints!

These jammies are THE best!

If a Market Canvas leather bag was a person, she’d be the boss. She’s high-functioning, overachieving, and totally Type-A. She’s not a slave to trends, but is always effortlessly chic in a timeless way. She’s a minimalist at heart, and tough as nails. She’s not afraid to carry a lot of heavy stuff for you, but will lean on your shoulder when she needs to, too. In other words, your best friend in bag form. Go ahead and let her join your inner circle.

Like many great brands, Market Canvas was born from designer Julie Neufeld’s search for something she couldn’t find: craftsmanship, quality materials and a modern aesthetic in a leather bag. More than a decade later, every Market Canvas product is conscientiously designed to be functional, beautiful, and seasonless.

Perhaps nothing evokes the memories of our favourite places better than fragrance – which is why we’re always tracking the scent of Wild Coast Perfumery. Lovers of the Pacific coast will connect with the notes of neroli, rose, mandarin and western red cedar that inspired the “Tofino” fragrance, while others may follow their noses to the summery, tropical vibe of “Tribune Bay” with its notes of vanilla, coconut, palmerosa and more.

In addition to giving back to non-profit organizations that protect the natural world, Wild Coast Perfumery does not use any synthetic ingredients in their products – their proprietary perfume recipes are blended from only pure, natural, plant-based essential oils, absolutes & tinctures. We carry a wide variety of their offerings in store, so come by and sniff out your favourite!

Stories can be told with words, pictures, music, touch, and often through the power of scent. Laboratorio Olfattivo’s narrative is one of historic inspiration, creativity, elegance and a sophisticated complexity of olfactory notes.

Italian in origin, it’s easy to be captivated by the brand’s tone and tension, not unlike the draw of a good book: “Notes, chords and alcohol converge with visions, reflections on a journey, sensations relived for a split second and fragmented passions, to form the main ingredients of Laboratorio Olfattivo’s fragrances.”

We think almost everyone could use a little Chilewich in their lives! From doorstep to tabletop, the line features floor mats, rugs, table runners and placemats in various woven patterns and multi-tonal colours composed of vinyl filaments, aka – extruded yarns which are softened by a plasticizer that is derived from soybeans rather than petroleum, thus reducing greenhouse gases by 40% compared to conventional plasticizers. Innovative and eco-conscious, Chilewich transforms textiles into products that are beautiful, durable and easy to clean. They are also made to last for decades, and their timeless look ensures they’ll suit any home.
Fun fact: head designer, Sandy Chilewich, is also the founder of hosiery company Hue. Hue knew, right?

We’re proud to carry the beautiful ceramic pieces by Blackbird Studio. Artist Paige Coull creates from her home studio on Gabriola Island where she walks the forest and swims the ocean with her two sets of twins. Living the dream, if you ask us! At Nicholas Randall, you’ll discover bowls and mugs with a rustic illustrative quality and references to the natural world and its beauty.

“Throughout my years of island living I have developed a deep appreciation for the simplistic routine of everyday rituals. The textures of the sandstone, richness of the forest, and quiet of daily life. Each piece I create mimics these feelings of understated beauty.” – Paige Coull

Artist Feature: Sarah Wilson Pottery

Do you agree that coffee just hits different when you drink it in a vessel from a potter’s wheel? We do, and especially so if there’s an octopus involved ;).

We are thrilled to carry Sarah Wilson’s beautiful work, which include simple pottery forms like bowls and mugs featuring designs inspired by the natural earthy and oceanic beauty of Vancouver Island.

Sarah is originally from Ireland, but she moved to the west coast of Canada in 2018 and opened her Ladysmith studio in 2023. Her goal is to turn everyday moments like drinking a morning coffee into a “ritualistic, grounding experience.”

Come visit us and find your new favourite mug or the perfect bowl today!
