Our Flagship

When we began Nalata Nalata, we launched online but there was always hope that one day we would open a brick and mortar location. Steve and I had always dreamt of owning a shop together. The two of us would talk for hours about a place we could build together and fill with our favourite things. 

This was years ago when everything indeed felt like a distant dream but as the years went by, we actually found ourselves coming closer and closer to having a shop of our own. We evolved our tastes and interests. We plunged into the online shop. The gears started shifting and a lot of questions became answered… All but one! WHERE would we place the physical store?? Back in Canada? Somewhere in our hometown of Edmonton? Close to family in Vancouver? Brooklyn? Manhattan? We hunted long and hard, narrowed down our options and when we found a little retail space on the corner of Extra Place last year, we decided to try a little test run of sorts. We opened up a temporary pop up shop on November 15th, 2013 just off the Bowery and were overwhelmed by the response! Everything about it felt right and the second we closed the pop up, we knew we had to make steps towards opening it up again, only this time permanently.

After a lot of deliberating, we feel like now more than ever, our little nook in East Village feels like home. We’re thrilled to announce that 2 Extra Place will officially be Nalata Nalata’s first physical location! We’ve already begun building out but there’s still a lot more to go! We hope you follow us on our journey to the finish line during the upcoming weeks before the opening and if all goes as planned, we’ll be up and running just in time for the holidays.
