Sandwich is a clothing line from the Netherlands that is loved and worn by women around the world. It has evolved naturally from a fledgling fashion label into a dynamic, international brand due to its commercial appeal with unique design slant. Sandwich believes, and the women who wear us know, to appreciate life we don’t have to look far. Beauty is everywhere, we only have to see it.
Back in the fall we brought you a photo essay of the Sandwich line as worn by Robyn Thaler Hickey. Have a look at the slide show for a sense of the line. Not all of the pieces are still available but there are many more that haven’t been photographed. We have a good selection of large sizes also. Come in and have a look and save 40% on every purchase.
Your store is beautiful, but where in Antigonish would you wear some or most of these Outfits, I think that if you want to have a successful business you will have to cater to the working girl ,plus buy Canadian fashions.Also so many people say that they have never been even in your store as they got the wrong impression from the beginning, being it is to pricy., or the sales ladies to forward.It would be a shame to see the store go under as it is a great asset to the downtown.A Fashion show for the public would help your business ,not one just for the investors and their friends, also hold it in a place other than your store.Just trying to help !!!!!!!

Hello Yvonne
I hope you can make it to our fashion show and art opening this Tuesday February 12.
All the best, Tiiu
Thanks for your concerned and thoughtful comments about Aphrodite. The truth is that we have had such a positive reaction from the people who do come in to the store. Here is one of hundreds of great comments.”This shop is a breath of fresh air and a feast for the eyes. To marry art and fashion design and then to complement the approach with locally-sourced jewellery, handbags, scarves and other accessories is practising sustainability at its best! The Goddess of Love lives in Antigonish!Thank you for placing so much beauty in one place.”
We can never be everything to everyone but it appears that we’re weighing in favourably as customers are travelling here from Halifax to Sydney who have heard about the store. Locally there are many beautiful women who love fashion and they are thrilled that they no longer have to travel far and wide to find great things to wear.
This all translates into positive sales – we have surpassed our original sales forecasts in less than a year. We carry almost 30 lines of which 12 are Canadian. Our jewellery and handbags are almost all from Atlantic Canada not to mention the fine craft and visual art in our gallery.
We have had 5 fashion shows so far – all of our customers are invited. We just can’t accommodate too many people so we don’t advertise the shows to the general public. We are planning some larger scale fashion shows as fundraisers for the upcoming year.
To date our blog has reached almost 30,000 hits – it gives us a good avenue to communicate with our customers – and hear back from them as we have from you. All of this has been achieved in less than one year. I feel confident that we will be gracing your Main Street for a long time to come.
I hope you come back and have a good look around and allow our staff to present the Canadian designers and reasonable price points. I think you’ll be favourably surprised by what you find. Thanks you again for your comments – they are very welcome.

love your store. It has something for everyone. I expected it to be much more
expensive. We are very fortunate to have such a store here in THE NISH.
Thank you and I look forward to taking my visiting friends there. Marilyn

All the best,
