What It Is: I know that for many Canadians, the silly insistence of retailers to launch ‘Spring’ collections in January is a sore spot. After all, we’re stuck in a deep freeze till at least April, and even then the weather is patchy, at best. And yet…walking into an ALDO store right now, I have to admit that seeing some of their new spring pastel bags put a smile on my face. It’s a breath of fresh air – for you, and your wardrobe. Their new line includes several styles of bags in cheery coral, versatile bone, and crisp mint, all emblazoned with soft gold accents and an embroidered floral print. Even if you buy one now but don’t haul it out till Spring has officially graced us with its presence, the sheer act of catching a glimpse of one of these pretty totes in your closet will help you through these blustery days.
Who It’s For: Your winter birthday sister, as a reminder of warmer days ahead. Your on-trend best friend, to update her accessories collection. Your wife, as a fresh Valentine’s gift.
What It Costs: From $30 for a wallet to $60 for the largest tote.
Where It’s At: ALDO – online and in-stores.
