Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Silk & Snow Expands into Western Canada with a New Retail Location

— November 26, 2024 — Art & Design
Silk & Snow’s recent expansion into Western Canada with a new store in Edmonton highlights the modern brand's dedication to providing customers with direct access to its premium home essentials. Located in South Edmonton Common — which is a major retail hub, the store offers consumers a hands-on experience with the brand’s range of mattresses, bedding, furniture, and bath products.

This latest development reflects Silk & Snow's response to the increasing demand for physical retail spaces where customers can interact with products before purchasing. The store, blending Japandi and Mid-Century Modern design elements, creates a serene and inviting atmosphere that emphasizes the brand’s aesthetic values. This marks the third physical location for the company, joining stores in Ottawa and Toronto, with plans for further expansion.
