OUR STORY

Spruce Clothing + Lifestyle

Our collections represent a minimalistic lifestyle, with a resourceful nature.

At Spruce, we are passionate about showcasing local artists, introducing their stories, and providing quality connection. Connection to the goods and to each other. 
 

Our story began in 2016

The vision was to create a common place that would provide a welcoming and inspiring environment for community building, while also supporting the environment with local supply.

Our small shop began in a humble converted car garage on the family property. 
What started as a dream, quickly became an opportunity. With a common demand to change basic consumerism, we discovered our visitors could feel the difference in their experience at Spruce. We operated in the intimate garage setting, hosting the occasional ’Spruce Soiree’ for almost 2 years until we were presented with our next step. Spruce Clothing + Lifestyle officially opened as a brick and mortar in Brentwood Bay on June 1st, 2019 sharing space alongside Beauregard cafe, where we spent 5 beautiful years growing in our community with fellow small businesses.

Shortly after our 5th year anniversary, July 2024, when our Beauregard location became up for development, we had the opportunity to move again, to a special little space down by the water. Here, we continue to grow, standing strong in our original WHY, connecting with you, and enjoying the surrounding nature.

Thanks for being here,




"For us, it is most important to get into business with an environmental foot forward—taking more responsibility for the goods we purchase and the clothing we wear and represent. Our passion for keeping things low footprint and resourceful lead us to build our brand on sustainable options.
Witnessing consumer waste as a huge concern for our planet, our business model was built on being part of the solution. We are committed to being as low-waste or full-circle in all ways we can. From choosing locally hand-made goods, curating thrifted clothing, ushering bottle return programs, hosting clothing swaps, implementing donation programs, and participating in community causes; we are here to create lasting change, together."
