Wishlist: Converse x Hudson’s Bay Company Jack Purcell Fall 2013 Collection

30 August, 2013 Nelia

converse-hudsons-bay-company-jack-purcell-collection

The cat is finally out of the bag! Hudson’s Bay Company joined forces with Converse to create one of the coolest pieces of Canadiana I’ve ever seen…actually, three of them! Ever since I laid my eyes on these beauties during The Bay’s Holiday 2013 preview, I have been dying to share the news with you, and now I finally can!

“Available in the Converse unisex Jack Purcell, Duck Boot and women’s Helen silhouettes, each style embodies the Hudson’s Bay Company wool point blanket stripes, features threaded stitching and antique brass eyelets, and includes the Jack Purcell and Hudson’s Bay logos on the foot bed. These silhouettes also carry an official “Seal of Quality” maintaining the authenticity of Hudson’s Bay Company. Additionally, the Jack Purcell Duck features a leather collar and heel stay, as well as embroidery on the tongue of the shoe, generating an elevated style that merges these two iconic worlds.”

The Converse Hudson’s Bay Company Jack Purcell collection will be available for purchase exclusively at Hudson’s Bay Stores, with prices ranging from $120 to $140 starting September 1, 2013. I don’t know about you, but I’ll be getting up extra early that day to snag a pair for myself and for le bf too!

Converse Spring 2011 Collection Preview

15 February, 2011 Nelia

It’s February, and what does that mean? Spring items arriving in stores daily! Hooray!

Last week, thanks to MB Communications, I got to check out what Converse has to offer this Spring. And I definitely liked what I saw. The main attractions for me was the Marimekko collaboration collection. Bright colors, fun original patterns from the 1960s – I’m officially in love. The Marimekko collab included a new, more feminine Chuck Taylor All Star PJ silhouette, as well as the Jack Purcell Helen, All Star, and Oxford silhouettes. These shoes are perfect for some summer lovin’, and should be in stores now.

Another amazing collaboration for Spring 2011 is Converse x DC Comics. I seriously wished I saw these pairs in stores much earlier, as they would’ve made a perfect Valentine’s Day gift! Most shoes from this collection feature both good and evil characters from the iconic comic books, including Batman, Joker, Wonder Woman (yeah!), Superman, and many others. There are so many cool pairs in that collab, but I am pretty sure they’ll sell like hot cakes. So if you or someone you love is a comic book fan, make sure to track down a pair soon, before they are all gone.

All in all, I was very impressed with what I saw. Apart from the main collabs presented, there were studded Chucks, camo Chucks, woven leather Varvatos Chucks, Jack Purcell Chucksthat James Dean used to wear, and so many more…I wish I could justify buying them all, and if I wasn’t such a high heel girl, I totally would. In the meantime, I think I know what I’m getting for le boyfriend’s birthday!

Converse Fall 2010 Collection Preview

27 July, 2010 Nelia

What a bad blogger I have been! I really don’t have an excuse, other than…I’ve been horribly lazy. Umm…no, not lazy…busy…yeah, that’s it. Either way, sorry once again, and I will definitely try to bring my A-game for the remainder of the summer…”try” being the key word.

A couple of weeks ago, the lovelies over at MBCommunications invited me among the other fashion-loving set to attend the Fall 2010 preview of Converse aka Most Amazing Casual Shoes EVER. And though to me, nothing beats the boring  classic black and white Chucks, some shoes that I saw at the preview made me reconsider. There were shoes for every type of person out there: fun “Seuss” Chucks, slick Jack Purcells, glittery Converse for tweens, amazing band-inspired shoes, winter-boot Converse, and of course the good-old classic Chuck Taylors.

The thing that really got me excited was definitely the Dr. Seuss collection. Having a little nephew of my own, I cannot wait till he’s old enough to rock the adorable red high-tops. In the meantime, I guess I could get a pair for myself…don’t judge me, I’m still a huge kid at heart!

Some styles are already available at the Get Outside  store on Queen St., while others will be coming in throughout August/September. Make sure to call the store for availability. Now if only they carried Converse x Missoni collection too…perhaps next year?
