We fell in love with Charlotte Hosten’s fabric-mounted mixed-media jewellery the moment we saw the stunning handmade pieces merging vintage beads, crystals, and fabric remnants in her signature style.

Now Hosten has a space to call her own, in her new Mile End boutique and atelier (you can peek through the curtains to see necklaces-in-progress in the back. The fresh, pretty space is filled with the designer’s creations as well as her personal coups de coeur. We’re lusting after the Moscow necklace (shown: $240) featuring silk, semi-precious stones and metal and the Enchanted Alaska necklace ($175) festooned with vintage rings. Hosten’s faves? A sweet Prairie Clutch ($362) made in South Africa, hand-knit scarves ($99) from the U.S. and a pair of Harricana earmuffs ($89).

It’s like a candy shop for our closet! —Jennifer Nachshen
