I love it when I can repurpose a purchase for another

part of my life. Pulling on this Arc’teryx Vertices ski

layer is like wrapping your torso in a warm silky hug.

But what I really love is its ingenious design: the full

neck pulls up over my head and nose for an impromp-

tu balaclava. (Its wee zippered pocket is too small for a

phone, but it does keep me from losing my lip balm.)

Made for the slopes from a breathable synthetic fabric,

the hood and neck warmer fit well under a ski helmet

or a parka hood, perfect for days when the wind blows

hard and your breath makes icicles on your eyelashes –

and you have to wait for public transit.

S

kin care, hair care and cosmetics can cost

a pretty penny and being unable to get to

the last drops of your favourite cream or

shampoo is both wasteful and frustrating.

One way to use every bit is through hacks

such as cutting open your package. Or you

can take inspiration from the enterprising

product developers at Oribe, the hair, skin-

care and cosmetics company, whose hand

cream comes with a stylish winding key that

squeezes every bit out of the tube.

Toronto’s Fran Miller recently relaunched

her natural skin-care line, F. Miller, giving it a

more sustainable focus that includes her

packaging choices. “In order to reduce foot-

print and avoid creating new excess, we

source recycled materials with the highest

post-consumer waste content possible and

aim to keep packaging manufacturing local,”

the founder explains. All of F. Miller’s prod-

ucts come in glass bottles as a way to best care

for the biodegradable ingredients in her for-

mulas as well as to refrain from using plastic.

“By choosing materials like glass vessels with

removable closures, you are able to use the

product you invested in down to the last

drop, as well as clean out the vessel easily and

reuse or repurpose it rather than immediate-

ly throwing it away.”

F

or the latest instalment in its Savoir-Faire series,

Louis Vuitton is setting up shop in a private resi-

dence in picturesque Vancouver. Housed on Howe

Street in the penthouse of one of the city’s tallest sky-

scrapers, the 8,000-square-foot space boasts 360-degree

panoramic views that take in downtown, the Burrard In-

let and the nearby mountains. Until Oct. 24, visitors can

interact with the brand through a unique shopping ex-

perience, where each room in the home contains ele-

gantly arranged Louis Vuitton goods. The theme for the

temporary shop reflects Louis Vuitton’s spirit of travel

philosophy and heritage in luggage and trunk-making

that dates back to the 19th century. Each installation of

the series is inspired by its unique locale, which over the

years has included Aspen, Los Angeles and Mexico.

One major draw to this particular maison is the be-

spoke product assortment available. Here, find exclusive

handbags, limited-edition pieces and special hard-sided

items that are all new to Canada and can be hand-paint-

ed onsite. It’s the first time that Vancouverites will have

access to Objets Nomades, a collection of furniture and

objects created in collaboration with a select group of

international designers. Unique to Vancouver’s offerings

is an outdoor stargazing set created to celebrate Cana-

da’s natural beauty while showcasing Louis Vuitton’s

prowess in fusing traditional handicraft with modern

tech to create truly bespoke pieces.
