The Trove Fashion 2023 Local Gift Guide
Ever since we opened the doors to Trove Fashion in 2017, we’ve been enjoying all the great things that our neighbourhood has to offer. We’re so lucky to be part of the vibrant Hintonburg community in Ottawa; this area is home to many great businesses, and it’s easy to navigate on foot or using transit.
Next time you visit Trove Fashion, why not complete your gift shopping in our neighbourhood? Today, we’re paying a visit to some of our favourite local businesses. Read on to learn more about them and thank you for supporting small businesses this holiday season!
Stop 1: Santini Gallery
Our first stop is Santini Gallery, a contemporary art gallery specializing in original, local artwork and promoting accessibility in the arts. We love to visit this gallery when we need inspiration, so it’s the perfect way to start the day. You can shop the gallery alongside a curated selection of luxurious home and beauty gifts that are sure to please their recipient!
Stop 2: Vincent
Tucked away in a little house two blocks south of Santini Gallery is Vincent, a contemporary women's boutique that carries gorgeous pieces from hard-to-find brands. Sisters Angie and Amanda have created a beautiful space that cultivates creativity, and we love stopping in to see the newest fashion trends and browse their classic pieces. Whether you want to turn heads at your next holiday party or find the perfect gift for your fashion-obsessed bestie, Vincent has it all!
Stop 3: Les Moulins La Fayette
After a busy morning, it’s time for a break! Les Moulins La Fayette is a French bakery located right next door to Trove Fashion at 1000 Wellington St. West. Their menu includes a range of French viennoiseries, sweets, and lunch items, so no matter what time you pop by, you’ll find the perfect snack to fuel your day of shopping.
Stop 4: Oresta Organics
Next, head west to Oresta, a boutique that has been at the forefront of the clean beauty movement for over two decades. Founder Oresta Korbutiak is committed to promoting positive, radiant skin at any age. Their Hintonburg space was previously a shoe repair shop and they’ve even kept some antique cobbler pieces as part of the decor! Consult with their knowledgeable team to find the perfect product for you or a friend.
Stop 5: Uppliva Sauna & Spa
At the end of a long shopping day, it’s time to treat yourself! @uppliva.sauna is an urban Nordic spa located across the street from Oresta Organics. Uppliva offers a range of sauna, steam, and massage treatments. The Nordic sauna experience centers around slowing down to enjoy the moment, so it’s the perfect way to cap off a fun day in Hintonburg.
