[…] The British luxury goods label has just opened up its first two boutiques in Canada, one in Yorkdale Shopping Centre and one on Bloor St. in Yorkville. You may not want to visit unless you have plans to buy one or you’ll be in serious handbag lust. I love so many of them, but this Willow bag has an edge as you can zipper off the clutch, so really it’s two bags in one. Makes it easier to justify the buy, right? Or maybe you don’t need to justify it — just treat yo self! […]
