The End of A Chapter I am forever grateful for the communities that have begun/flourished through @alteriordesign | @alivingtaste by @dallaschreptyk @colechreptyk It’s their last month at the current location and I still feel a little bittersweet about the circumstances but I hope this post serves as a message of gratitude/continuing support as a friend. If you’re in Vancouver, don’t forget to say hi to them before they leave the space at the end of this month 😤 My intro to the studio started a few years back when I met @rocks.ca through IG (me buying clothes from Ben for Nicole) and then I signed up for @balancing_acts outdoor clinic. From then on I met the brothers, @donnelgarcia and bunch of others who I regularly get to see their face at the studio. As a relatively newly grad, being not from Vancouver, and on top of the whole pandemic, it was definitely challenging to meet people without @alteriordesign being there. An embodiment of the saying “home is where the heart is” 🫶, the place is always filled with kindness and that’s clearly reflected on the kind of people who have come through the door. I hope the journey continues for many years to come, and I’m super excited for their next chapter 💚💚 Sharing some of my connections to the space: 1. BA wall tear down 2.
