You're probably wondering how all of this came to be, and in the spirit of brand transparency, we're going to walk you through our story!

Our store was started in our co-founder's basement all the way over in Hinton, AB. Nicole Charlton, a fashion & art student, wanted to provide a curated collection of vintage inspired and Canadian made brands to an online audience. She opened Shop Harrow in 2017 and worked from home, sometimes taking her collections to pop ups around the province.

In 2019, Nicole turned to her mother, Natalie, for help. She wanted to take her business to the next step, and after months of brainstorming and planning, they opened their first brick and mortar right here in Edmonton.

Opening the store was a family affair, and Nicole's father and uncle (with many others along the way!) came down to help get the store on its feet. Although the move from Hinton to Edmonton was a difficult one, Nicole thought it would be worth the effort, and she now resides in the city with her partner and dog not too far from the shop! Natalie has stayed in Hinton but comes down almost every weekend to help Nicole take care of business.

After almost a year and a half of being in business, Nicole and Natalie opened their second location in West Edmonton Mall & did a pop up location in Kingsway Mall. They have since closed the mall locations to focus on their original location down in High Street!

A couple years later Natalie and Nicole decided to open a brick and mortar location in Hinton where it all started! Now they have the best of both worlds, Natalie runs the Hinton location and Nicole mostly runs the High Street shop in Edmonton!

We do our best to stock something for everyone, which means not all of our brands are Canadian made. We try hard to #supportlocal wherever we can afford to while also making sure that we carry a selection of goods that are not only high quality, but as affordable as possible, because we know how daunting boutique shopping can be on a budget!

That's us in a nutshell! If you'd like to know more about our story or our shop, feel free to email us at shopharrow@gmail.com; we're always willing to chat!

Love, The Shop Harrow team
