Welcome to Plush.
Plush is a charming little boutique and workspace dedicated to Vancouver’s burgeoning indie craft scene. We’ve packed our little shop with a carefully selected collection of handmade gifts, art, and decor items, all made locally and with love.
Because of the one-of-a-kind nature of many of our products, we are currently not offering online purchasing, but we are always delighted to arrange a purchase over the phone. Please contact us at 604·708·5199. An online store is coming in the (nearish) future!
Artisans interested in having us carry their work are encouraged to contact us to arrange a visit.
What’s New at Plush
Flake Out Kicks Off On Main Street
Let’s just get it out in the open: Main Street has a reputation. Sure, we have a reputation as being ground zero for lovely things that are all-kinds-of-ethical: locally made, upcycled, organic, sustainable, vegan. We have a reputation as a haven for hipsters. And a reputation as an urban Vancouver neighbourhood that –despite the skyrocketing […]
Project Figo
The Figos have landed! Project Figo is happening all this month at Plush. The brainchild of local artist Claudia Segovia, Figo dolls and DIY Figo kits have been here for some time visiting us from a world of dreams and possibilities with the express purpose of helping to make our wishes become reality. Each Figo […]
Trick or Treat!
Plush loves all things costumey. Plush loves candy. And, more than just about anything, Plush loves giving treats to strangers. So you can just imagine how ga-ga we get around here every year when Hallowe’en rolls around! This year, we’re marking our favorite time of year with a little contest. We’ve stuffed as many Hallowe’en […]
Mighty Ugly Redux
“Hello, my name is Plush, and I am a perfectionist”. Ok, so maybe it’s not the kind of thing people form support groups over. Whether or not we need a twelve-step program for perfectionists is a discussion for another day, but last year when the Plushettes were caught ripping out seams that were a sixteenth […]
Just Like Craft Camp. Except Better.
Get out your camp stoves and picnic blankets –summer has finally hit Vancouver! It’s time to pack up your gear and head for the hills –or the beach, as the case may be. But once the hiking, swimming, and cycling are done, the summer reading is caught up on, and the hot dogs and s’mores […]
3 Reasons Steampunk Trumps Swimwear This Summer
Let’s face it, it’s way easier for most of us to look fantastic in a corset than in a bikini. But the real reason to stop by Plush for our upcoming Steampunk Craft Drop-In? Okay, well, aside from the fact that it’s free. Yes, the accessories! Who knew that the quintessential steampunk accoutrements fit so […]
Maker Faire Field Trip
This weekend marked the inaugural run of the Vancouver Maker Faire, and from where Plush was sitting it seemed to be a humongous success! We took our “DIY or DIE!!!” workshop series out for its first ever road trip, which was an immense amount of fun. We hardly had a second to catch our breaths all […]
Summer DIY Season at Plush
Hello Plushlings! We know, you’ve heard hardly a peep from us for months now! We are so very very grateful for your patience with us as we struggle to keep on top of a heavy manufacturing load right now. We’re squeezing in a few workshops over the next six weeks or so, with the aim […]
Vancouver Mini Maker Faire
Vancouver Mini Maker Faire is a two-day celebration of making and creating. Plush will be there hosting a DIY craft station, as will many of your other favorite DIYers (keep an eye out for hands-on activities from Spool of Thread, The Fraser Valley Knitting Guild, MightyUgly.com, and Science World, among others). And just so we don’t have you […]
