The boutique now features a fully shoppable apartment on its second level
Hopson Grace
When Andrea Hopson and Martha Grace McKimm opened their Toronto tableware boutique Hopson Grace in 2015, they reserved the second floor of the building as a place to host special events. But as their customer base grew, so too did demand, with clients asking for items beyond the tableware and accessories they had in stock. After careful consideration, the duo, who both have backgrounds working for luxury goods brands, decided to introduce an innovative shopping concept to the upper level.
The result is a fully shoppable apartment that brings together every room of the house, with expanded offerings that include bedding, bath linens, lighting and decorative pieces, as well as cookware and tools for the kitchen. It’s a selection that focuses on craftsmanship and aesthetic that’s particularly suitable for gifting. “People want quality over quantity," says McKimm, adding that no one wants to give an unwanted gift.
To complete the feel of an apartment, Hopson Grace partnered with Italian kitchen manufacturer Scavolini on a custom kitchen stocked with products for sale from David Mellor, Dualit, Staub, Cuisinart and more. Local Toronto interior designers such as Kate Thornley-Hall and J Gibson Interiors provided some of the second floor’s larger furnishings, which are also available for purchase.
