Known for its selection of unique wardrobe pieces and fanciful accessories, Victoire Boutique has become an absolute go-to for Ottawa’s most sassy and stylish inhabitants. With a fusion of vintage and modern styles, Victoire showcases the work of talented Canadian designers (and some American and international ones too!) and helps devoted shoppers achieve that one-of-a-kind look all year round.
This summer, Victoire Boutique celebrates its third birthday, proudly continuing its mission to bring the “rock’n'roll tea party” to the capital. To mark the occasion, a night of fun, glamour and discounts kicked off the Victoire Summer Sale.
Owners Régine and Katie toasted three years of success in great company as they hosted Victoire’s birthday bash just last night. The small gala was attended by staff, friends, fans, and some of the independent designers whose eclectic creations make Victoire such an ideal destination for the fashion-savvy dame.
Despite the rainy weather and the magnetic pull of Bluesfest, Victoire’s festivities were well-attended by a bevy of gorgeous ladies and a sprinkling of sharply-dressed menfolk. In the greyish gloom of the evening, the boutique’s festive window was an oasis of warm light, and the space inside was alive with celebration, laughter, and (of course) shopping!
Amongst other goodies and prizes, guests took home a sweet mix CD put together by the Victoire crew. It’s labeled Victoire Mix – Volume 1, which can only mean that there is much, much more to come. We eagerly await!
Visit Victoire at 246 Dalhousie Street, at the corner of Dalhousie and St. Patrick.
