Dagg and Stacey is here!


We're so excited that our spring shipment from Dagg and Stacey has arrived. We're both huge fans of their collection and the unconventional inspiration behind each collection. This spring these talented ladies were inspired by Marie Antoinette's eighteenth century reign and France of the nineteen fifties. It conveys a feeling of whimsy, serenity, and opulence in its details.

We have some lovely dresses perfect for weddings and proms and super cute rain jackets. Here is a little peek at the new arrivals!

Introducing Brazen Design!


We've been anxiously awaiting it's arrival and they are finally here! The lovely Brazen Design jewellery collection by the lovely Rachel Rachna Dhawan . Bridget were in Montreal before the holidays and came across Rachel's line in a little boutique. We fell instantly in love with her fabulous handmade bling and are super excited to have Rachel's amazing creations at Workshop. Bridget couldn't resist picking up a pair of leaf earrings for herself and I'm feeling like I may need to do the same :)

Rachel Rachna Dhawan, designer and creator of handmade bling, graduated from Concordia University with her baccalaureate of fine arts, with a specialization in fibres and video. A life-long lover and maker of jewellery, she was introduced to silversmithing at the Ecole de Joaillerie de Montreal and is primarily self-taught . Rachel loves food, music and hot accessories.

Brazen Design creations seek inspiration in natural forms, textiles and urban iconography to achieve a balance between playfulness and elegance. brazen design was recipient of the montreal mayor’s foundation entrepreneurship grant, 2007.





Rachel's jewellery is super light weight and very affordale for handmade sterling silver jewellery! These pieces would make great gifts for some others or as a special treat for yourself. Come and check out the goodies for yourself :)

I love the Disco Shimmy Dress in Nutmeg - it's super comfy and stylish - great for a night out!














This is a favourite at the shop - The Smart and Chic dress is even cuter in person - we have it in Slate Blue and in Poppy Red.
