The Vancouver Sun: The name may be a beautiful maelstrom of cultures, but the newly opened GumDrops store is all about the Rainy City.
For Australian Shanda Jerrett -- originally born in Victoria, although her family emigrated Down Under soon afterwards --the name is a combination of gumboots (their word for rubber boots) and rain drops (and you thought it was just a reference to the old-fashioned candy?).
It stands for a lighthearted approach to the weather, Jerrett explains: "Putting rainy-day frowns upside down."
Well, if anything helps to bring you up in this downpour, it's a store that evokes candy nostalgia through a kaleidoscope of vibrant colours and designs. Choose boots adorned with rock-inspired skulls, guitars and roses, for example, or plain smiling skulls, or daisies or cupcakes -- and that's just for the adults.
Children's footwear includes ones with cows, dogs, bears, frogs, and the rest of the store has everything else you need for wet weather (jackets, toy dog coats, bags and laptop cases -- and umbrellas, of course).
These boots were made for Splashing [The Vancouver Sun]
