About Us

Founded in 2004, The Latest Scoop is a Vancouver-based company that began with only short-term, temporary pop-up shops. We area lifestyle concept store, meaning our buyers travel the world—LosAngeles, New York, Paris, Toronto—to curate a unique mix of product: fashion, furniture, home decor, accessories, footwear, stationary and gift. Our buying is not based on brands, but instead, on what we believe to be beautiful, affordable and desirable. We have permanent locations across Canada - with future plans to keep growing and expanding
