Thanks, TNK Vintage!


Thank you for the sweet post, Tomorrow Never Knows!


I love how they've layered the scarves- they look fantastic worn together. I can't wait to visit this shop in person when I'm in Toronto in January!!

New stockist- Tomorrow Never Knows of 69 Vintage Collective

Alright, first I have to say that this "New Stockist" thing isn't very common for me. Up until the end of November, I had been working with my roster of current retailers for quite a while- it had been almost a year since I'd expanded to any new stores. (This was my own choice, mostly due to the fact that I had just graduated and had a notion that I should have a proper nine-to-five job, and keep Mes Trois Soeurs as a side project.) However, the past couple of weeks have just been incredible for me and m3s! I've been honoured to have such beautiful stores approach me, and it really reaffirms the fact that I did the right thing in deciding to give my label 100% of my time. Anyway, I could not be more pleased about the expansion of Mes Trois Soeurs into other boutiques, and I am just as excited about the newest...

Tomorrow Never Knows is part of the 69 Vintage Clothing Collective in Toronto (more on the collective and everything they offer in this great article). This fabulous boutique, located just above 69 Vintage, carries carefully selected vintage and handmade clothing and accessories. The owner is extremely picky about what makes it into her shop, so she is able to keep the selection relevant and of the highest quality. If that isn't enough to coerce you to visit, they also host events like Cookie Exchange and Vintage Makeover Night!

They're located at 1207 Bloor St West in Toronto, but if you're a little further away, I highly recommend checking out their blog and facebook fan page.

New stockist- Impact Galerie

Photo taken off Impact Galerie's website.

I have been knitting like a maniac... two new stockists in two weeks!! It's been such an exciting time for m3s! My friend Josephine, the designer of Oyeloria jewelry, introduced me to Impact Galerie. It's a gorgeous boutique in Montreal's Old Port offering handmade and one-of-a-kind jewelry, accessories, artwork, and spa products. It's a great place to find beautiful and unique gifts, or just to spoil yourself. They're carrying a selection of my rope scarves and I'm very happy to be working with them!

Visit them at 209 Rue St Paul Ouest, near Place d'Armes metro.

Online shipping fee calculator, and SDM photos

Are you doing your holiday shopping online and ordering items that are shipping from the US to Canada? (I know I am!) Make sure that you factor in duty fees into your budget. This is the most handy shipping fees calculator, telling you duty and brokerage fees for whatever you're ordering, based on the price, shipping method, and where the product was made. It's always been extremely accurate for me.


If you are ordering from the US, I highly recommend having the goods shipped with USPS. I have paid ridiculous fees on packages shipped UPS- once a $40 pair of shoes ended up costing me $80 after duty! With USPS, I've rarely been charged anything, unless the package is very expensive, and even then the fees aren't too bad.

Just thought I'd share!

And here are a few more photos from Smart Design Mart.

The Etsy shop is back on!

Photo by Jonathan Brunette

Just FYI, my Etsy shop is back and running after a very successful weekend at Smart Design Mart. I was so pleased with the turnout, and I'm already excited for next year. I seriously depleted my stock of scarves and I will be knitting all day so I can get them into stores!

On another note, I've purchased a new mannequin, who is much prettier and more photogenic than my other dressform. This means that I should be able to put new stock on Etsy much faster. Yay!

My Etsy shop is on vacation!

Just a note that my Etsy store will be on vacation until Monday! That's why that panel over there --> is empty.

If you're looking to find out more about m3s, check out my facebook page!

See you at Smart Design Mart!

Smart Design Mart for the weekend!

Smart Design Mart starts tomorrow and I am so excited! I'll be there almost the entire weekend, and my friend Daniel will be minding the booth when I have to step out, so feel free to come see Mes Trois Soeurs anytime.

I'm bringing tons of rope scarves in some gorgeous new colours as well as old favourites, and I'm pleased to say that I knit every one of them out of eco-friendly yarn. I'm also bringing a slew of skirts and dresses at great prices, so you'll have lots to choose from.

I'll be closing my Etsy store this evening until Monday morning just to avoid complications.
