Privilege Clothing Boutique
Privilege Clothing Boutique is one of my absolute favorite contemporary shopping go-to's for seasonal trends and exclusive labels. I recently interviewed the owner, Donni Edmonson, about her inspiration to open this suburban boutique clothing store... have a look!
Privilege Clothing Boutique opened its first location in Langley on November 23, 2007 and has been a popular shopping hit ever since. Stemmed from simply noticing a void in the market for good clothing boutiques in Langley, Donni Edmonson convinced herself to take a risk and open one of the first current and trendy clothing boutiques.
"I have resided in Langley for quite some time, and as a resident here I long ago noticed that if you wanted to buy designer clothing - or even merely a cute top to wear out on the weekend - you would have to go downtown (Vancouver) to find it."
As for the Port Moody location, Donni frequented Suter Brook a number of times and appreciated the quaintness of the village. The modern development of the area provided her with the foundation for a second Privilege location. Donni's fundamental idea was to open a boutique that provided a vast collection of name brands, with an expansive variety of price ranges - at competitive prices... and it proved to be a success!
Isn't it every girls dream, to be able to shop for a living??
"Privilege is simply a mirror image of everything that I love. That is the greatest part of my job, to be able to shop for a living. I never buy a product for either of my stores that I do not LOVE. Menswear aside, the women's collection is clearly influenced by my love of anything girly or feminine. [Upon entering the boutique] you will notice my appreciation for the skinny jean, anything silk or flowy, or maybe a cute little dress".

Privilege carries such an abundant array of labels, which are nothing short of fabulous. Shoppers will definitely find what they are looking for, plus more!
So, what are her picks for this season??
"I LOVE LOVE LOVE Wildfox!" She proclaims, and so do we!
Wildfox -Love Potion N. 9 tank
"[Wildfox] is such a cute, fun, summer brand of women's tops that are casual enough to wear with shorts on a hot summers day. I also love the "Jegging" which has come in quite handy for the mixed weather we have experienced so far this summer. These jeggings are lightweight and pair well with flats or sandals, but still keep their denim appeal intact to wear with boots next season. I personally own all of the colors!"
As for her personal FAV...
"A brand called Wish from Australia. We started carrying it this month (June), and it is my favorite at the moment that exemplifies the perfect collaboration of class, poise, and fashion. I highly recommend it, and I have personally victimized my credit card to buy many of the current pieces".
As for me, I absolutely love the all of the Fluxus tanks and tee's, the Sienna Ray handbags, and of course, anything 212.
