Jak's Handbags!

As our fantastic new fall collection of Jak's handbags has just arrived in store, we figured it was about time that we shared our love of their wonderful products with you!

As their website states, 

“ A woman can own several handbags, but a handbag can only ever belong to a single woman ”

And, if you're looking for that one unique handbag that will define your style as you transition toward your fall wardrobe, then we recommend Jak's! Utilitarian and easy to wear, yet feminine and funky, our new selection offers neutral fall hues that will look great with your fall attire as the leaves change color and the days get cooler. 

You may be surprised to learn that Jak's bags were actually inspired during a trip to the Orient taken by sisters and designers, Sophie and Karinne Dionne. Based in Quebec, they travel to Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam several times annually to select fabrics and assist in the detailing and production of their bags. When back home in Canada, both designers are actively involved in the development and marketing of Jak's.

We hope that you will have the opportunity to check out these great bags, as style is indeed at hand!

Pyrrha Pendants and Rings!

Available at both Edmonton Tin Box locations are Pyrrha wax seal necklaces and rings!

Carpe Diem Ring

 Each Pyrrha piece is cast from 19th century wax seals salvaged by Vancouver jewelry designers Wade Papin and Danielle Wilmore. From their Vancouver studio - which happens to be a historical home turned jewelry making studio - Papin and Wilmore use reclaimed sterling silver to fashion each pendant and ring they create.

Integrity Pendant

Enclosed with each Pyrrha piece is a note explaining the unique symbolism behind each design, from hearts and locks to griffins and ravens. One of our favorite pieces is the "We Part to Meet Again" pendant featuring a scissor motif.

We Part to Meet Again Pendant

Perhaps the charm of Pyrrha is best summarized by the designers themselves in the quote, "jewelers traditionally try to make everything look perfect, but we like to show the maker’s hand. We celebrate the original cracks in the waxes.”

Summer Picks at The Tin Box!

Here is a display featuring a few of our favorite decor picks this summer! The rustic yellow tulip wall panel adds a splash of color to any wall while the rubber boot vases, available in a variety of colors, are fun if you need a unique vase for your home or for gifting!
