New Kilt Pins for Fall

So you may be noticing that there’s plenty of blacks & greys this Fall for clothing…nothing wrong with that but such colours (or to get technical, “non-colours”) can get drab & boring after wearing them all season long.

It’s best to add some fun accessories to your Fall outfits to avoid looking dreary.

Odd Bird's brand new Bric-a-Brac kilt pins can help with this!

The brass or bronze pins feature a random mix charms, baubles & lockets (both new & vintage)

So far birds & bunnies are in the lead for subject matter but other styles are in the works.

Fall 2010

You may be noticing some changes around Fresh Collective over the coming months, starting with our new storefront (new sign to come too!) While we loved our old bright red front, it seemed time for a change, and with all the color and fun in our products, we thought a neutral framework showed off our merchandise best. Our door and entryway are due for a repaint- we're waiting for less humid weather- but those will remain a nice bright red to lead you right in the door!
Our fall fashions are in and more arriving every day! We've heard you customers- you love our fun and funky styles, but we know you also need clothing and accessories to wear to work. We've got a great selection of cool work wear, and lots of gorgeous accessories to top off any outfit.

Fresh Baked Goods has a great selection of dresses in sizes 4-18! Our corduroys are machine wash and dry, and our styles are cut to flatter. At Fresh Collective, the clothing is designed by real women for real women- and we can often alter or make custom when need be.
Every outfit needs the perfect bag and we have the perfect selection from three different Toronto designers: Moira Coughlan, Cipolla and Integrity Designs.

Mandala Designs is a favourite for many of our customers, and no wonder! Designer Mandy Armstrong has the knack for making wearable clothes with personality!
Foundlings is a newer on the scene at Fresh Collective, and the designer, Hannah Richardson, brings with her fresh ideas with a vintage flair.
Paper People Clothing has in a huge selection of her popular sweaters, shrugs and knit dresses. Each one so different, you'll always find something to love. Foundlings (below) is also bringing a fresh take on reclaimed sweaters this fall.
Top off any outfit with a smattering of brooches. These 3 by Odd Bird, sweater below by Paper People Clothing.
Feather and glass bead necklaces by Bauble Bead. Designer Stephanie Atkinson makes her own glass beads using flamework (a technique using a torch to melt glass rods.) You can see pictures of how she makes them in her case at Fresh Collective.
Wrapped German glass necklaces by Electric Lollipop.
Fall whimsy from Designs by Peeno.
Gorgeous flameworked beads by Bauble Beads.
New Duffel Bag by Integrity Designs.
Fall leaf necklace by Sugar Rush.

Ahoy there, Matey!


The latest offering in the Summer Bric-a-Brac collection from Odd Bird: Spy Glass necklaces!



Who doesn't love nautical accessories during the warm weather?
What the heck, these are so fun you'll want to wear them year 'round!



Each brass spy glass (aka telescope) comes attached to a long chain and a bauble of sorts. Each bauble is different so no two necklaces are exactly alike.



And the best thing about this necklace?
The spy glass really works!
You can peer through the lens and then cry "Ahoy!"....or just wear it quietly like a normal person, ha ha!
