Shopping for Vancouver-made treasures to return home from your travels with doesn’t have to mean your choices are limited to touristy junk. Örling & Wu, a contemporary household goods boutique in Gastown has also just opened a shop in the hip new Armoury District, on 6th Avenue and Fir Street, just up the hill from Granville Island.
The owners of Örling & Wu carefully curate the selection of goods they sell, from small independent, often local brands and designers. Check out Ikeuchi towels from Japan, Void watches from Hong Kong, and local Vancouver brands like Tealeaves, jewelry by Emmy Trinh and Foe and Dear, greeting cards by Light & Lines Studio, art prints by Barclay Haro Art Concepts, pressed flower phone cases by Just B Smilin and terrariums by Balconi.
Since being founded in 2009, Örling & Wu has appeared in House & Home, Style at Home, Elle Décor USA, Globe and Mail and more. A worthy shopping stop indeed.
