The Find: shop Virginia Johnson’s sweet, summery designs (before they’re gone)

Local artist and textile designer Virginia Johnson’s colourful hand-painted prints have been a fixture of Toronto’s shopping scene for 14 years. Unfortunately, the designer is halting  production of her clothing collections, saying in a note to customers: “I’ve decided to refocus on my art and textile designs through creative projects and collaborations.” But there’s still a chance for shoppers to score Johnson’s perfectly summery apparel—like this tribal caftan or versatile beach tote—before the line wraps up for good later this month. Her latest collection, Le Weekend, is particularly affordable with patterned one-pieces coming in at $50 and breezy beach coverups at $30. Everything else, even shawls and frocks hand-painted in watercolour, is 30 per cent off with the promo code “summer15.” June 28 is the last day for online sales, so fans of these playful picks (or anyone planning a tropical beach vacation) better act quick.
