In the past year, Sears has quietly been undergoing an enormous transformation. Some of its stores, like Toronto’s Promenade Mall, have been revamped into sleek modern spaces that are a shopper’s dream (the associates call it Sears 2.0; and there’s even a cool new logo). The layout is intuitive and totally clutter-free; they’ve pared down some of their merch so shoppers can quickly find what they’re looking for. The brand has also launched two new clothing lines, The Cut @ Sears and Sears Label, which will appeal to everyone from busy moms to trendy Queen Westers—making the space a haven for everyday essentials that are both stylish and insanely affordable. We rounded up a few of Sears best new offerings:
Sears recently launched a brand called Luna by Sears, which makes memory foam boxed mattresses that disperse heat seven times faster than similar brands. The lightweight box makes for ultra-easy assembly, and you can try it out for 180 nights to be absolutely positive it’s the right fit. $999.99. Sears.ca
This scented candle in a jar has a beautifully minimalist design, and comes in an assortment of rich fragrances and colours. At only $9.97, you can afford to stock up for intimate dinner parties, luxurious baths or bedside reading. $9.97. Sears.ca
Sears large canvas tote is the perfect carryall for summer picnics, beach expeditions or weekend getaways. It closes with a zipper and has a few inside pockets so you won’t lose track of your wallet. The neutral colour scheme can be accented with blue, black, red, purple, mauve or green detailing. $24.97. Sears.ca
