On my recent trip to Edmonton I was bummed to miss Nokomis’ housewarming party. And no one even saved me a cupcake! Nokomis is Edmonton, AB’s answer to hip Canadian clothing.
It exclusively features Canadian clothing, over 50 brands, including Preloved, Dace ( a fav of ours) and Alison Wonderland. Local brands includes Nokomis’ own house line, Sabrina Butterfly and Maked.
Sabrina Butterfly consists of pretty frocks for girls who read books, because Nokomis girls are inspired by libraries, bicycle rides, kittens, and dance parties.
Nokomis is an ojibwa word meaning ‘grandmother’ - so it only makes sense that Nokomis pays respect to grandmothers by lining the walls with framed photos of customers’ grandmothers. A discount of 10% is offered for each photo brought in.
P.S. Just 4 1/2 blocks down the street is Plaid Giraffe which has great prices on jewelery (I stucked up on chunky lockets) and accessories (including Matt & Nat purses).
