Shops We Love: Cadine Is Your Destination For Everyday Luxuries
Lifestyle store Cadine opened in Vancouver’s Cambie Village last December and quickly became a style destination. With an emphasis on natural materials and soulful goods for everyday use, the exclusive designs chosen by owners Brenda Li and Paula Li span the worlds of fashion, beauty and decorating. Hand-glazed ceramics that give traditional silhouettes a modern twist, locally made wood furniture by Manner Studio and vases wrapped in vegetable-tanned leather are among the home items custom made for Cadine by artisans in Vancouver, New York and beyond. Like its products, Cadine is destined to be a forever favorite. Scroll down to see inside the shop!

“Our intent is to provide artful and meaningful pieces that stand the test of time,” says Brenda (right), pictured here with Paula creating one of their signature bouquets.
The store itself was designed by Ste. Marie Art + Design, an award-winning firm that combined archways, warm marble and wrought-iron details to create an elevated shopping experience.
In the center of it all is a stunning floral station showcasing fresh flowers from Cadine’s nursery, located on the duo’s 1920s farmhouse property. “The store is meant to be a source of inspiration and respite in equal measure,” says Paula.
Made out of 100 per cent genuine leather, this pretty vase comes with a glass insert for easy clean-up and will elevate any arrangement.
Made by one of the last shoemakers in Canada, these suede leather slides are designed to be worn indoors or out.
This luxe candle is a delicious-smelling addition to your work-from-home set-up. With notes of honeysuckle, jasmine and neroli, the fresh floral scent is reminiscent of a warm summer evening.
