Isak & Inger

Introducing Isak & Inger, the new accessories collection from Toronto-born Mariel Gonzalez. Made from vintage fur and leather as well as melton wool, Mariel creates all the patterns herself, adding accents with wood beads and hand knit sweaters.

Mariel creates her works of art in small batches based on how much material each sweater or jacket will give her. Each piece is one of a kind and painstakingly hand made.

You can find Mariel's work at our Toronto boutique and keep up-to-date with her new creations on her tumblr. (Sweater mittens, $150; wool mittens, $120; baby mittens, $50; hat, $150)

The Perfect Stocking Stuffer!


‘Tis the season for chilly weather and gathering together with family and friends. As an accessory to these events, we just so happen to have wool chain stitched iPhone sleeves to keep your phone warm and protect it from the hazards of the holiday season. At only $35, it’s the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone with an iphone 3, 4 or even Blackberry Curve!

They’ve been flying off the shelf and it might have something to do with a certain blog - Design*Sponge. Not only were our iPhone sleeves featured in the $50 and under gift guide, our teal zig zag wool shawl in the splurge worthy gift guide, but we’re on Grace Bonney’s own holiday wish list! Needless to say all of us here at Virginia Johnson are pretty excited.
