Nellis is known for her ability to knead luxurious fabrics into simple styles. She also creates a line of accessories, including gold-embossed cushions, beaded necklaces and velvet scarves.

  2. Zulu Records

    Routinely voted by locals as Vancouver's best indie music store, visiting musos can happily spend a rainy afternoon here sifting the racks of new and used vinyl and hard-to-find imports while pretending they're in High Fidelity . Check out any of the 30,000 titles at the sweet listening booths with retro chairs. Zulu also sponsors and sells tickets to most of the hip shows that come to town - ask the staff for recommendations.
