What are Canada Goose Brand Jackets?

Canada Goose was founded in a small warehouse factory in Toronto 60 years ago.

Canada Goose is one of the most famous, high­end jacket makers in Canada.

Various Products Canada Goose manufactures a wide range of high­end and very warm jackets, parkas, vests, gloves and other

cold weather apparel.

Some of Canada Goose jackets are made for extremely cold (­40 degree) weather!

Price Jackets are usually between $600 and $800

canada

They are certainly well made,but definitely not cheap! Where you can buy Canada goose ?

Brooklyn clothing co 418 Davie street

〜カナダ発のブランド カナダグース〜

登山家や、南極では働く人たちに愛されているカナダ初のジャケットジャケットブランドがあります!

そう、それがカナダグース。

Canada_goose_logo

60年前に最初は小さい工場から始まったが今や、ハイブランドの一員に。

寒いところで働く人たちや、住む人たち向けのものですからお世辞ではなく本当にあったかい!!!

室内だと汗少しかくくらいです笑

日本でも着々と人気の出ているブランドですが気になるお値段は

ダウンジャケットは$600〜からします。クオリティの高いものはやはりお高い。。。

でも出す価値はありです。

デザインもシンプルで飽き廃れない感じなので長年使えるのもいいですね。

Looking for handmade soap that skips the synthetic stuff in favour of natural ingredients?

Stock up for your own enjoyment, or wrap up a sweetly scented gift package.

Why use organic soap ?

organic

Many people have sensitive skin that doesn’t respond well to chemically laden soap.

By using organic soap, you might be able to avoid, or at least reduce, the skin problems that are caused by irritating chemical

ingredients.

Organic soap contains ingredients that are not, and have not been produced with, herbicides, chemical fertilizers.

It’s invaluable for those who suffer from chemical sensitivities.

Where you can find hand made organic soap ?

The soap dispensary
soap dipencer

Established in 2011, The Soap Dispensary is Vancouver’s first refill shop specializing in premium soaps,household cleaners,

dispensary1personal care productsDIY ingredients and fine edibles

 

バンクーバーのおすすめオーガニック石鹸

オーガニック野菜、オーガニックコスメ、オーガニックワイン、、、

など何かとオーガニック製品が注目されているバンクーバーですね;)

今回はちょっとユニークな手作りのオーガニック専門石鹸ショップをご紹介します!

The soap dispensary 

3718 Main Street
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N7

 

dispensary1

お店にズラーッと容器が並び、自分の容器を持ってきて入れる!という新しいオーガニックショップです。

カラダにも地球にも優しいお店、、、

soap dipencer

店内もクリーン、キュートな雰囲気なのでお買い物するのがより楽しくなりますね!

洗濯洗剤、掃除に使う洗剤、ボディソープ、洗顔ソープも置いてあり全部オーガニック;)

そもそもオーガニックって何?て思う方もいますよね。

オーガニック

〈有機の〉という意味で,通常は農薬や化学肥料を使わず有機肥料によって生産された農産物のことを言います!

普段私たちが使っている石鹸の原油が石油など化学物質がたくさん含まれておりお肌が悲鳴をあげているんです。

バンクーバーにはオーガニックソープ専門店などオーガニックのお店が多いので手に入りやすいですね

 

お値段は少し高めですが、健康のことを考えたら出す価値はありますね!
