A Destination to Experience The timeless European beauty inside Simone & Ivy WORDS BY FRANCESCA ROZNICKI PHOTOGRAPHY SUPPLIED
Every morning, Leanne Mohagen and Heather Jespersen open the doors of Simone & Ivy to invite customers into an experience. Shoppers meet friends and family, coffee in hand, to browse one-of-a-kind items carefully curated and displayed in pleasing ways. The inventory in this St. Albert boutique caters to all the senses with floral soaps, woodsy candles, soft linens, and tasty treats like Jacek Chocolate, Drizzle Honey, and Salt Spring Island Kitchen products. Also available is Canadian-made furniture, customizable in fabrics that consumers can touch and feel. The home decor and lifestyle store, co-owned by Mohagen and Jespersen, opened in 2019 and is named after Mohagen’s mother and grandmother. The inventory leans toward timeless and natural pieces with a European vibe, but the personal priority of Mohagen and Jespersen is to provide excellent customer service both in-store and through online sales.
