Since 2004, Spend on Trend has been showcasing our local Canadian designer talent, allowing the public to feast on unique jewelry and clothing. As it’s an all weekend event, starting Friday August 21st and ending on Sunday August 23rd, you’ll have ample opportunity to peruse the various wares.

Along with those of the fashion persuasion, the event will also prove to appeal to the greener minded folk out there, as the show’s producers, Fiona and Jim inform us that, “The show… [has]…a mix of fresh and established independent Canadian designers who ethically produce their work”.

Some of the many interesting features will surely be Catalyst Reaction who design cuffs, belts and buckles, Filou Designs with their Sterling Silver Acorn necklace and Megan Kathryn’s signature jacket.

You’ll find me lining up early for sure, as the first 25 people through the door each day will receive a gift bag stuffed with items valued up to $50! Even if you don’t get there early, the $5 entry fee is pittance for all the lovely things you’ll get to see.

When was it again?
August 21st – 23rd, 2009

Where at?
Scotia Bank Dance Centre – 677 Davie Street
