It was during the winter of 2016 that I purchased our first load of viscose infinity scarves. At the time, we had no warehouse, no store front, no website and no brand, just a passion to connect local retailers with fun new products that inspired us. I received the order and unpacked it in my living room in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia with my assistant Carolyn Timmons. Local retailers were eager to support us and bought them up in a flash! We immediately placed our second order, this time adding handbags and voila: Selby Accessories was born!

When the second order came in, we uncrated the pallets and packed the products to the ceiling in my living room and kitchen. My roommate was livid and it was then we realized.. we need our own space. We believed we could, so we did: we rented a humble, but functional warehouse space, where we expanded our product offering and operated out of until October 2018. We then purchased our very own flag ship store: Selby’s Bunker - a tri use facility: retail store, warehouse & showroom.

At Selby Accessories, we have stood by simple principles and values, appreciating beauty and positivity while focusing on sustainability. We source our products globally, curating goods that are durable, eco-conscious and authentic while committing to production materials which are not made at the expense of animals. Our handbags are made from vegan leather, fashion scarves from viscose – a plant-based fibre material, and our socks are 80% cotton – one of the highest cotton counts on the market for fashion socks. Each season, we launch new product lines, exploring new ways to remain eco conscious while setting fashion trends that blend fun, functionality and comfort.
