Don’t Fly Solo This Winter
Equip Yourself with Olie

For Immediate Release
May 4th, 2009

If last winter was any indication, the icy wrath of the coldest season of the year just seems to get more frigid. Since many of us can’t take to the skies to escape this chilly season, why not fight against it, armored with a snug and stylish piece from Olie?

Inspired by “the icy chill of winter” designer Amy Stewart has chosen a mimicking colour palette of icy and deep blue as well as complementary colours of turquoise, olive green and deep violet.

“I wanted to use colours that bring warmth to darker fall clothing, while embracing the blue and grey tones found in snow and ice,” says Stewart.

The collection consists of scarves, head warmers, shawls, and hoodie shawls; with her focal point of the season being the Olie Scarf. This is the trademark piece of the Olie collection and falls happily in size between the Petite Scarf and the Olie City Shawl, made with luxuriously soft Alpaca wool this scarf will have you reaching new heights this winter.

The garments are constructed of cozy Blended Wool, or super soft Alpaca which is an alternative for people who cannot wear wool. Not only will Olie ward off the local winter wonderland but the brand has enlisted other Vancouver artists to provide the buttons that will seal you in against the cold. Each button is hand made and artistically beautiful; the wooden buttons are made by Adea Chung of Billy Would Jewellery and Denise Wilson of Bronsino Bag fame contributes the large round leather ones. It is these unique details that make Amy’s designs soar beyond the realm of regular winter wears.
