April Arrivals : Mercy SS 2013


Swiss cotton blocked shirt dress

We just received three very cool new dresses from the Mercy Spring Summer collection. The Swiss cotton blocked shirt dress (above) is inspired by the idea of a woman wearing an oversized men’s shirt. This dress can either be belted, or worn loose, and instantly makes you feel put together because it’s like a crisp white shirt, but better. For the transitional weather we’ve been experiencing of late, I’ve been wearing my white cotton shirt dress like a tunic over skinny jeans. This piece has quickly become a Spring favourite.

We’re just starting to welcome Spring into the shop. And what better way than with these first arrivals from the Mercy SS 2013 collection. Great for right now, let’s still keep our fingers crossed that Spring will be here soon!

Short Stories : Lochcarron of Scotland

Established in 1947, Lochcarron of Scotland creates some of the world’s best textiles including authentic tartans. Their mills produce fabric for such luxury brands as Chanel, Vivienne Westwood, and Burberry. In addition to that list, Gaspard owners Jennifer and Richard make winter coats with Lochcarron textiles for their label, Mercy.

For Mercy’s Fall/Winter 2012 Collection, there are two coats made of these prestigious textiles: a Blackwatch Tartan Mohair coat with silk-lined pockets and sleeves (top) and a Herringbone Mohair coat with horn buttons (center). I’ve also included a picture of Mercy’s plaid coat (bottom) from last season because it is so special and we only have one left!

With our Winter Sale on now, it is the perfect time to find your next coat!


MERCY : Wool Shirtdresses and Tops

These MERCY shirt dresses and tops are made with a beautiful Liberty of London wool print. The whimsical print is a must-see in person. It is a floral available in both dark blue and pink, with dragonflies, butterflies, and even tiny elephants.

Below we’ve paired the top with an exciting new Tuxedo pant from Innamorato of Paris. Stay tuned for a post on the Tuxedo coming soon!

Fall Outfits

Looking for some Fall outfit inspiration? With cooler weather come great opportunities for layering! We’ve got knits from Roberto Collina in neutral colours, some with a hint of metallic to add a little sparkle to any outfit. Here the 3/4 sleeve knit jacket is layered over a Mercy Liberty print top (see above) and dress (see below).

Finally, accessories are best not overlooked! They really complete an outfit and give a place for the eye to rest. I’m constantly surprised how the complex and colourful Iosselliani pieces look so right with everything from a floral printed blouse to a graphic t-shirt.

Remember that mixing colour, texture, and even pattern can lead to a rich and satisfying outfit. If ever you have a question about styling or if you’re just wondering whether or not something is working, feel free to ask on your next visit. We would love to help you put together an amazing outfit!

FW 2012 Mercy : September

We have now received our first delivery of the Fall 2012 collection from Mercy.

Earlier this summer I visited the studio and took some photographs of samples. Now in store, we have beautiful light wool shirt dresses, tops, and button down shirts (in a variety of colours and prints), as well as quilted cotton Liberty dresses (cap sleeve and 1/2 sleeve) and stunning high-waisted skirts in abstract inky blue florals as well as grey-green.


On model : Mercy Liberty Print Wool Shirtdress in blue (also available in pink) $340
On mannequin : Antoni and Alison dress, Mercy Liberty Print Wool Shirt in blue, Maison Boinet belt,  Indress feather headpiece worn as a brooch.

And while you certainly don’t have to look like a mannequin to pull off this look (seriously – this Mercy shirt dress flatters most body types), it sure makes for a fun photograph!
