The Holidays Beckon: Our New Collection is Here

November 23, 2017

Stop by Bergström Originals as you gear up for the holiday season! Whether you find our online store or strolling down Queen Street East, shopping at Bergstrom Originals means supporting local creators. From the tables of our design studio in Riverside, through the skilled hands of Toronto-based cutters and sewers, each piece of clothing by Bergström is produced locally with love.

This winter’s Holiday Collection brings splashes of gold and red, from punchy polka dot prints to sophisticated tartan suiting. Outfit yourself for upcoming holiday parties, and find the perfect gifts for fashion lovers on your list, too!

Let the Festivities Begin…

Two new dresses are set to dazzle this season. The Mrs. Robinson Long takes a Bergstrom favourite into new heights as a sweeping, full-skirted dress for formal occasions. This ankle-length dress features a flattering wrap bodice - perfect to set off a sparkling statement necklace. Fluttery cap sleeves and a wide panel skirt add a flowing sense of movement that’s made for the dance floor! With a more fitted silhouette, the Carmen Dress showcases your figure in a brilliant Japanese-inspired floral print. Wide flute sleeves spill over your wrists, adding a playful flair to an elegant shape. Be it a winter wedding or a holiday gala, these two fresh designs will have you ready celebrate.

Tartan Expressions

We are in love with the tartan pattern of the new Barclay Pants and Simone A-line Top. The crisp lines of deep burgundy and charcoal are set on the bias, adding a modern edge to the traditional Scottish print. The rich ponte de roma fabric offers a hint of stretch, plus a soft touch and warmth to meet the demands of the season. These two pieces look fantastic together for a bold suiting ensemble - or mix and match with our mini check Cole Trousers and the solid tones of the Ellery 2 Tops. Comfortable and functional with a sophisticated style, wear in any combination to impress at the office!

The Domino Effect

The Domino Top and Skirt make an outstanding pair in a bold polka dot cascade! Wear the short skirt layered under the flowing A-line top, with the matching scarf adding an accent bow around your neck. The bold colours and flared lines put together an outfit that’s formal yet still fun - dressed to perfection with fishnet tights and your favourite black heels. Even better, this ensemble can be easily transformed into multiple looks - with the Domino Top worn casually over black Jetty Pants, or the Skirt featured with a solid tee, worn over leggings and tall boots. Both vibrant and versatile, this outfit goes a long way.   

Destination: Polaris

This season’s Polaris Cardy/Coat is made to brighten up the shortest days of the year. Done up in a woven fleece fabric, the multicoloured look takes on a textual, linear, homespun feel. A generous hood, wide cuffs, and big patch pockets keep you warm from the top of your head to your fingertips! Feeling as cosy as a hug, this piece can be worn as an outer coat for cool days, and as a beautiful, full-length cardigan in the depths of winter weather.
