Cat's Meow
Sometimes one needs to step off the main drag to discover life’s true gems.
Take Walnut Avenue off Queen Street, home to the delightful Tealish, the charming Burst (with the plumpest Ecuadorian roses in the city) and more recently, loungewear paradise, Cat Tilt.
Inspired by her love for yoga, owner Alison Hamilton has stocked her little boîte with the coziest of organic cottons tees, the softest of pants and the slouchiest of hoodies.
Work-at-homers will love the bamboo, drawstring sweats (from $65) from L.A.-based Green Dragon. Pair them with a cute Aude Striped Henley ($100) and you’re good to greet the mailman.
Accessories and gifts include adorable cashmere bonnets ($92) hand-combed from the bellies of Mongolian mountain goats (we kid you not), Alpaca wool cushions and throws ($200) and cashmere hot water bottles lined with lavender pouches ($150).
Indeed, everything in the store is geared towards feeling good. Like you do after a cat stretch.
Meow.
