The Toronto location of this Vancouver-born company opened on the Ossington strip less than a year ago and has been outfitting the city’s style mavens in such brands as Acne and Opening Ceremony ever since. Now the less deep-pocketed can benefit: the store has marked down menswear and womenswear by up to 70 per cent. 49 Ossington Ave., 416-849-5956, jonathanandolivia.com.

ROOMY HOME INTERIORS
In anticipation of its late-August reno, the store has discounted many of its floor models by 25 to 50 per cent.
