One of our favourite places to find the perfect gift for each other in the Sidewalk Hustle office, is Queen West gem ZANE in Toronto, who recently rebranded from A2Zane as he was previously known. Stocking all the cool and often hard to find brands like JUMA, Vlieger and Vandam, Issey Miyake, Illesteva, Daniel Wellington, and Giles & Brother, shop owner Zane Aburaneh does a superb job of curating his products to stay one step ahead of the hip kids in the neighbourhood to keep them coming back for more.
We recently stopped by their bricks and mortar at 753 Queen Street West to film our latest shop guide for Sidewalk Hustle TV. Find out Aburaneh’s philosophy behind ZANE, the brands that define it, and how it came to be in our video feature set to Classixx’s “All You’re Waiting For.”
