Toronto is a mecca for fashion lovers, with department stores and boutiques in every major pocket of the city. But tucked away in Toronto’s east end is a little known hidden gem, full of designer handbags and footwear from brands like Jimmy Choo, adidas, Stuart Weitzman, Lanvin and more.
The Townhouse by the September is where all of Toronto’s most stylish are buying their shoes and it’s the best kept secret in the city. The shop is in a nondescript townhouse, located at 535 Queen St. East (Suite 7), and is open to the public Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. All that’s required for entry is a quick call to The September’s office.
Once you’re buzzed in, you’ll be greeted by employees who are quick to offer sparkling water or Prosecco. From there, you’re welcome to browse. The shop stocks everything that The September carries online, but gives shoppers access to touch and feel the footwear and handbags in real life. Online shoppers can also opt to pick up their purchases at The Townhouse instead of getting the item shipped to their home. 
One of the most unique things about shopping at the Townhouse by The September is the ability to shop privately one-on-one or with friends. The September is able to host private parties for shoppers, where drinks and snacks are provided. The Townhouse is also where you’ll find seasonal warehouse sales and special events that give shoppers exclusive sneak peeks of new collections.
To make an appointment at The Townhouse by The September, email customercare@theSeptember.com or call 1-855-395-3371.

Slowly but surely, it seems the fashion industry is becoming more and more animal-friendly.
Back in October, Gucci announced that it was going fur-free, while Kat Von D is currently working on a line of entirely vegan shoes that use leather substitutes such as mushrooms and pineapples.
But most recently, Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo announced that they will no longer use animal fur in any of their products moving forward.

According to Women’s Wear Daily, this move has been a long time coming. Michael Kors Holdings Ltd., (the parent company that owns luxury brands Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo), has reportedly been in discussions with The Humane Society of the United States for 10 years now. After initially just eliminating the use of raccoon fur in their products, the brands are now going all in.
Michael Kors has a lengthy history of using fur. Currently, he utilizes coyote and rabbit fur in his designs. Yet the company will be completely phasing fur fabric out of production by December 2018. That means by this time next year, animal pelts will no longer be a part of the brand’s design process.
This decision comes after multiple demonstrations from animal rights activists, including the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

Earlier this summer, protesters interrupted Michael Kors’s live interview at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Over 20 protesters took the stage while chanting “Michael Kors has blood on his hands” and playing audio clips of animals shrieking, shutting down the event for approximately ten minutes.
But this fur-free transition for major fashion brands isn’t just a win for your little furry friends; this marks a huge victory for fashion lovers with animal sympathies and for the animal rights movement as a whole.
“When a brand goes fur-free, there are multiple wins. Most critically, animals will no longer suffer for their pelts, but consumers will also be able to enjoy state of the art fabrics and designs.”
Having fashion labels adopt fur-free policies benefits the environment all the while simultaneously reshapes the fashion landscape.
With the increased public pressure designers are faced with, evolving consumer tastes and new technology that allows synthetic materials to outperform fur, it’s clear that fur fabric and cruelty processes are entirely replaceable.
According to The Business of Fashion, Michael Kors will be showcasing its new non-animal “fur” techniques as soon as February, in the brand’s upcoming runway show. John D. Idol, Michael Kors’ chairman and chief executive, said in a statement, “This decision marks a new chapter as our company continues to evolve its use of innovative materials.”
Kors himself also added, “Due to technological advances in fabrications, we now have the ability to create a luxe aesthetic using non-animal fur.”

While major fashion houses committing to go fur-free is a huge step forward for the fashion industry, there’s still a large number of brands fully embracing real fur. As Fur Information Council of America spokesperson Keith Kaplan reports, “nearly 70 per cent of major designers included fur in their Autumn/Winter 2017 collections”, meaning there is still plenty of room for more designers to hop aboard the faux fur train.
Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo will be joining brands like Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, Tommy Hilfiger and Armani, which are all fur-free. Today’s consumers want fashionable, luxurious clothing that also aligns with their social values and these brands’ fur-free move makes them trailblazers in that regard.

For a while now, Michael Kors has been searching for a luxury brand to buy, and it looks like they’ve found one. CBC is reporting that American fashion brand Michael Kors is set to purchase luxury shoemaker Jimmy Choo in a deal that would see the Jimmy Choo brand sold for around $1.35 billion US.
This is a strong move for Michael Kors as the brand has been looking for a way to bolster its offering as Michael Kors has been quietly struggling to maintain top luxury status.
In an excerpt from the CBC article, John Idol, CEO of Michael Kors, is quoted as saying, “That Jimmy Choo is poised for meaningful growth in the future and we are committed to supporting the strong brand equity that Jimmy Choo has built.”
