Summer 2024 Part 1: May and June
As June comes to an end, we want to share some of the amazing things that have happened so far this summer!
In May, we held our annual donation drive for United Way Winnipeg's Women's Day of Caring. This is an event held every year that supports women in need and their families in our community. With your help, we collected hundreds of new personal care items, new hygiene products, children's clothing, women's spring and summer clothing, accessories, shoes and bags.

In some denim-related news, were honored to be selected by Nudie Jeans to bring in a very limited capsule collection designed in collaboration with Swedish artist Jeff Olsson. Two retailers in all of North America were chosen to carry this collection - one in California, and then us, all the way in Winnipeg! We think that's pretty cool!
We launched the collection in-store and online on May 16th. To celebrate, we brought in Drop The Needle - a local company that set up to offer complimentary custom embroidery on any Nudie Jeans item purchased during the event. We had Low Life Barrel House serving their delicious and unique wine and beer, Smoke'n Bob's Hotdogs set up out front, and a special guest DJ. If you were there - you know the event was on rain or shine (or HAIL I should say) - but it was all worth it for the beautiful rainbow at the end :)
We still have limited pieces from the Nudie Jeans x Jeff Olsson capsule collection available here (while quantities last)

Speaking of Nudie Jeans - they also chose Danali to be the only store in all of Canada to carry their brand new women's fit called Wide Heidi. The Wide Heidi is available in-store only and is the opposite of the last twenty years - low, wide, and swaying. We love this fit and think you will too! Come check it out in-store only.
We took our team to a Winnipeg Goldeyes game which was a ton of fun! Such a nice way to kick off summer, enjoy some snacks, and watch a little bit of baseball. See how much fun we had by clicking here.
We can't wrap up June without mentioning Aubrey's birthday (June 8) - his favourite day of the year. This year, we thought it would be hilarious to get our team to all show up to work dressed like Aubrey - black t-shirt, dark denim, sneakers, sunglasses, etc. and it was! You can see the results here. :)
Every summer, or every summer since Aubrey started golfing, we talk about getting custom golf balls made. This year, we finally did! We timed it with Father's Day and gave them away as a promo - we also still have some in store available to purchase.
So far, we'd say this summer is our best one yet! Thank you for tuning in and being part of it. Follow us on Instagram to see everything (almost) as it happens.
