Shopping Online in Vancouver: Orling and Wu
We were looking for Eleanor Pritchard's blankets and pillows when we found Örling and Wu, a store in Vancouver, British Columbia. We did find the blankets and throws (both Pritchard's as well as Klippan) and a lot more. So far as the Klippan blankets, I'm enamored of the moose and polar bears as well as the rose blanket in either pink, purple or gray. There are baby blankets, too.
Tableware handmade in Portugal, Holland and Israel is quite beautiful and useful; the large 'oyster' bowls were a shape apart, reasonable and made by Mateus in Portugal. Other tableware is made by Royal Tichelaar Makkum which is the Netherlands' oldest company Klässbol's Herr Ask Black Table Runner is a product from the firm we visited in Sweden almost 20 years ago. The material lasts forever, easy to wash and iron: "Napkins and tablecloths from the little village in Värmland have for several years been used at the prestigious Nobel feast. Swedish as well as Norwegian embassies worldwide choose products from Klässbols. They are purveyors to HM the King of Sweden, they have been given the honourable task of hand-weaving the very special royal tablecloth."
Fabrics and wallpapers display classic stripes, checks, embroidered linens and florals by the meter. Cecil Beaton Fabrics and Wallpaper from the UK are largely inspired by Beaton's fashion sketches from his 1954 book, The Glass of Fashion, made available through the National Portrait Gallery, London.
Miscellaneous include a brush rack for those brushes that have become simple and practical gifts for everyone. And let's face it, how many mushroom brushes have you seen? And the wonderful Iris Handverk whom we've highlighted before on seniorwomen.com has a sleek looking dustpan and brush set in recycled plastic in grey, red, black, white, green and blue. Cabbages and Roses (from England) have a Blue Paris Rose Colin Bolster that looks comfortable as well as in a nostalgic pattern but there are many other cushions to view, too. Seasonal ornaments can be picked up at the store in historic Gastown area of Vancouver.
Shipping information is quite detailed for inside Canada and international orders and obviously, Canadian dollar are used in the costs. A currency converter is available. This shop could be a marvelous destination for a city already known for beautiful locations, crafts and artisans.
