Stork Brings Shopping for Unique and Stylish Baby Products to Ottawa and Beyond
-- New local retailer offers more than 100 items not available elsewhere in Ottawa --
Ottawa, ON March 26, 2007 Meet Stork, a locally owned and operated online store and home-based boutique providing a collection of unique and stylish baby products, many of them previously unavailable at Ottawa retailers. Stork has taken the leg-work out of shopping for hip, innovative baby products by providing Ottawa and beyond with an alternative to the generic box store options, with shopping either from the convenience of home via the web or in the comfort of the Stork Home Boutique where items a client might be interested in are available to touch and feel prior to purchase.
I wanted to bring some style, originality and lots of new options to babies and new parents in my community says Liisa Vexler, owner. I was so disappointed in the mainstream choices in Ottawa, I was sure there were others who were experiencing the same void. I wanted to make sure that the products I brought into my home reflected my family personal style.
Quality, originality and style
All of the products available at Stork online at www.storkbabyboutique.com or at the Stork Home Boutique have been hand picked by Vexler, who began her search for unique products during her first pregnancy. Many of the products carried by Stork are made by moms and many of them are Canadian made.
