Pho pa - 698 Queen St West – phopa.ca – 416.979.9444

The same shop we recommended last week for great evening wear is also a good place to find cute colourful tops and casual dresses. Pho pa does not disappoint with its selection of unique finds. This boutique carries Canadian designers who are just establishing themselves so it keeps prices lower than you would expect for most pieces. Pho pa offers a unique concentration of fashion, jewelry and accessories designs. It would be hard to make a fashion mistake here- the concept is smart, well-made basics with subtle twists, edgy and hip. The accessories are fantastic and it’s also a great place to find the perfect belt or a one of a kind piece.
