Inside Calgary’s Best Boutiques: Marda Loop, Where Style Lives Local
Let’s be real, finding the best local shops isn’t always easy especially if you're visiting from out of town. Hidden gems feel like they’re hiding on purpose, and sometimes Google just doesn’t get the vibe right. Lucky for you, the best of Calgary’s fashion scene is tucked away on a short stretch of sidewalk on 34th ave. This walkable little pocket of Calgary is packed with some of the city’s best boutiques — from dreamy closets full of local labels to tiny shops bursting with personality. If you’re looking to shop small, support local, and maybe treat yourself while you’re at it… Marda Loop is calling.
#1 Sunday State;
For the “I’m cooler than you and you definitely want to know where I got my shoes“ look
Sunday State is basically sunshine in boutique form. Think effortless linen sets, cozy knits, cool basics, and a little bit of that Australian laid-back style (without the 20-hour flight). Everything here feels easy, elevated, and like you have your life together. It is the boutique to shop if you are looking for handmade, independent, and extremely well made garments. Nothing you buy here will ever disappoint.
Warning: you will want everything.
#2 Vienna at Marda Loop;
Jewelry you can actually live in.
Vienna isn’t your typical jewelry store; it’s THE storefront shop in Marda Loop (if not the only in Calgary) specializing in high-quality, waterproof, tarnish-free, stainless steel gold jewelry. That means pieces you can wear every day; in the shower, at the gym, on vacation, without worrying about them losing their shine. The vibe? A piece for everyone; from minimal and timeless, to unique and beachy. Their jewelry is designed to actually last. They carry a variety of brands, 90% locally owned; House of Avario, Sea and Stone, Seodora ext. Whether you’re layering up or looking for that one perfect piece, Vienna’s got your new forever favorite.
#3 Revive Attire;
Curated consignment, but make it modern.
Revive Attire is Marda Loop’s go-to for elevated consignment. This locally-owned boutique focuses on contemporary, on-trend pieces from brands you actually want in your closet. From effortless basics to designer finds, Revive makes sustainable shopping feel fresh, polished, and luxurious.
#4 Clothing Bar Boutique;
For the curated consignment gems.
Designer denim? Vintage tees? A killer blazer for $40? Clothing Bar Boutique is one of those spots where you always find something cool and unlike other consignment and second hand stores, you don't have to dig. Sustainable, affordable, and fun.
