Born from a love of fashion, design, and standing out from the crowd, Ishara is a playground for sophisticated women who want to make a statement. We officially opened our doors on July 15, 2008 and have made Vancouver's historic (and uber-hip) gastown district our new home since late 2009. Since then, we've gained quite the reputation for our fabulous events & shopping parties and distinct mix of luxurious finds. The question on everyone's mind ~ What does the name mean? Ishara means to send someone in the right direction, which is exactly what we seek to do for our customers. The inspiration for ishara comes from many places ~ the latest fashion magazines, our favorite blogs, street style from our travels. The one constant is that we strive to ensure that the collections and pieces carried at ishara won't be found everywhere else, so you can go ahead and splurge on yourself without worrying about the girl at the next table having the same dress as you.
