Calgary Shops: February Notes

Malwina Gudowska on love...and lovely things.

Lucky strike

Parsons grad and former Gucci intern Sarah Shell recently launched her handbag line, 442 McAdam (442mcadam.com), in Los Angeles, but this Calgarian’s heart (and home) is still in the Prairies. Her new collection includes oversized handbags, colourful clutches and “man bags” made from one-of-a-kind leather pieces, bronze hardware and vintage items. My pick is the Babes Bowler bag (shown, $415) with the over-the-shoulder option—perfect for us closet bowlers. At Pink Sugar (1414 Kensington Rd. NW, Suite 105, Calgary, 403-283-1161, pinksugarboutique.com).
