This gallery/boutique devotes itself to rotating themes: On our last visit, it was focused on amazingly hip renditions of babiche, an ancient weaving tradition from the plains of Northern Canada (where you find it on snowshoes). Gorgeous rickety chairs with seats woven from hundreds of different colors of thread, pendant lamps, and side tables were mixed in with other, more permanent offerings, such as limited-edition fragrances and china that looked like old-world delft porcelain at first glance, but on closer inspection was emblazoned with images of graffitied taxicabs.
