Our story

Thank you for stopping by tin & feather MERCANTILE's website. In spring of 2019 we  purchased a vintage Airstream with a dream to renovate the space and create a funky little mobile boutique. She was shiny, full of character and even a bit sassy with a squeaky door making it impossible to sneak in late at night without waking the neighbours. We decided to name her Stella, Stella the Airstream. After months of hard work, and a few tears, Stella was finally finished in November and made her debut at a Christmas market on Vancouver Island.

The inspiration for tin & feather has been building for almost a decade. I love every part of renovating from the demo, the redesign and right through to pulling the space together with furniture and décor. Finding the perfect piece takes time and careful curating, and this is why I wanted to bring together a collection of pieces to inspire, comfort and ultimately bring joy to every room in a home. I love vintage inspired pieces, cozy textiles, handmade local pieces and clean lines with a modern twist. 

We are delighted to bring this unique shopping experience to beautiful Vancouver Island with an online shop for Canadians from coast to coast. Watch the event section on our website for updates and follow us on Instagram and Facebook. If you are ever on the west coast please pop by to say hi or you can drop us a note at hello@tinandfeather.ca.

Remember, always keep the shiny side up!
