Allow me to introduce... roselea designs.

Lets extend a great, big, warm welcome to a new designer whose pieces are available in Regalia Boutique.

roselea designs

Each piece from roselea designs is handmade by Michelle Woods. She grew up in Nelson, BC and has always been inspired by nature and art. Her skills working with leather were taught to her by her grandmother. These teachings afforded her with the means to make the bags that she always dreamed of. Each bag is unique, and generally customized to what the buyer wants.

Nature is one of the greatest sources of inspiration behind roselea designs, as evident by the intricate detailing in each creation. Whether the design elements contain floral, foliage, or feathers, these bags make a statement without being flashy.

Woods just recently began introducing earrings constructed of leather into the line. Using the same natural colours and overall theme they illustrate a vision with consistency. Each pair is hand carved creating wearable art that is never the same.

If you haven't checked out our selection of jewellery and apparel by K.KOOL. Please do.

K.KOOL represents the creative genius of Victoria native, Kaylea Reeve. Her pieces are a fusion of new and old making each creation an original. One of the signature looks that K.KOOL offers is the traditional dreamcatcher with a contemporary spin. They are bright, bold and classic, yet still embody a feeling of true vintage.

K.KOOL designs have been particularly centred around jewellery, offering an array of necklaces and earrings, but have also expanded into fashion apparel. Regardless of the selected media, the line is thematically unified by a fresh and innovative sense of using classic pieces and presenting them with an undeniably modern twist.

K.KOOL is currently delving into the depths of fashion by exploring the possibilities of clothing design to be launched soon.

Off the Grid ART CRAWL

With the heat of the summer coming full swing a city wide art crawl is upon us. Join local galleries as the city comes alive for an evening of gallery hopping installations and performances. This year will be bustling with 15 local galleries as well as independent projects by Anna Banana, Marcel Andreas Reimer, and Studio 1219.

The Off the Grid map and program will guide residents and visitors alike to a variety of exhibits at participating galleries, publicly accessible studios, and various sites throughout the city. As an official en mass open house event, these exhibits are on offer for a free late night viewing. The event will wrap up at Open Space (510 Fort St.) from 11p.m. to 1a.m, with a special meet and greet, and live music by Listening Party.



There will be a free shuttle bus driving between 5 of the major stops on the crawl every 45 minutes - enough time to check the jive and catch the next the cruiser to the next Hot Spot!

Go to the Open Space website for details or come by Regalia (or any of the other venues) and pick up a map. Link...
