We stopped in to check out a brand new store located at 902 Commercial Drive called Your Open Closet. The store may be new, but the owners are not new to business, as they also own Womyns’ Ware just down the street. We learnt that customers were coming into Womyns’ Ware looking for undergarments which they didn’t have, so this new business was born. Having said that, Your Open Closet is not your everyday lingerie store. Although they do carry panties, lingerie, boxers, stockings, socks, bras and the like, something does set them apart. Your Open Closet has created a body positive space for their customers of all genders and orientation with an emphasis on zero judgment. There are no harsh bright lights in store, they have some very cool subdued lighting. If you are paying attention when you walk in, you will see a case of records off to the side and a record player which is their sound system. The undergarments chosen have a local and Canadian focus which we always love to see. This is a great space, perfect for the upcoming shopping this holiday season. Your Open Closet has only been open 3 weeks as of this writing and if they don’t have what you are looking for, let them know. They are open to suggestions as to what you’d like to see in store. Stop by and check out this new space located at the corner of Venables & Commercial Drive.
