Trendy Kitsilano boutique Branches and Knots is more than a store – it’s a sought-after distributor of shoes and womenswear from Japan. When effervescent owner Naomi Anju worked in the fashion industry in her native Japan, she saw a lot of exciting merchandise. When she relocated to Vancouver, she made it her mission to bring the unique styles of her homeland to West Coast shoppers.
Branches and Knots is a shoe-lover’s paradise. Among Naomi’s bestsellers are natural rubber boots by Japanese non-profit Wild Bird Society of Japan (WBSJ), and distinct footwear designs from Yuko Imanishi +.
