With sales and exclusive discounts at T-Elle Boutique by VSL in downtown Peterborough, it’s easier than ever to shop for all the fashionistas on your shopping list this holiday season.
Victoria SL purchased the Charlotte Street women’s boutique in 2022, adding entrepreneur to a resume that also includes being a language professor with a PhD in Linguistics, a licensed Zumba instructor, a Chinese opera singer, a voice-over artist, a master of ceremonies, and a YouTuber. As with words, dance, and music, Victoria believes fashion is an important way for people to express their creativity, personality, and individuality.
T-Elle Boutique by VSL focuses on made-in-Canada outfits by Canadian designers like Joseph Ribkoff and Frank Lyman and offers unconventional wedding dresses, mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom dresses, dresses for special occasions like graduations and proms, and casual wears. The boutique also provides in-house alterations, which are not limited to clothing purchased in-store.
In addition to clothing, T-Elle Boutique by VSL stocks quality footwear brands, Atomy skin care products, and jewellery, including both Swarovski and brands that use Swarovski crystals, and will soon be launching partnerships with local vendors to become a full-service fashion and beauty hub.
Staff at T-Elle Boutique by VSL provide each customer with a personal shopping and fashion experience, tailored to their individual features including skin tone, body shape, and personality, ensuring customers walk out of the shop feeling confident, unique, and happy with their purchase.
The holiday shopping season is a great time to drop by T-Elle Boutique by VSL, as all remaining summer wear collections are priced at 40 per cent off until inventory is gone.
You’ll also find Black Friday sales on November 28, when select collections will be marked down and all shoes will be priced at $30 for one day only.
If you’re not sure about the best gift for the fashionista on your shopping list, you can also save big on gift certificates. All gift certificates over $50 will be 10 per cent off if purchased before December 31 (conditions apply).
Once again, T-Elle Boutique by VSL is one of nearly 200 downtown businesses participating in the annual Holiday Passport Program organized by the Peterborough Downtown Business Improvement Area (DBIA). For each $10 you spend in the store, you earn a stamp on your passport. When your passport is filled with 20 stamps, it becomes a ballot for one of three early bird draws in December for a $500 Boro gift card and a grand prize draw for a $1,500 Boro gift card in January. Boro gift cards can be used at over 150 locally owned businesses, including T-Elle Boutique by VSL.
While doing your holiday shopping, be sure to check out the window display at T-Elle Boutique by VSL, which won the Peterborough DBIA’s annual holiday window contest last year.
“It is always great to be the winner of a contest,” Victoria SL says. “We are also keen to contribute to the aesthetic part of Peterborough.”
