What you may not realize when you first visit Charlie Pickles is that we are actually more than a retail store. We are a design studio, and product wholesaler - designing products for over 20 years and wholesaling them to retailers worldwide. Our store, although one of our favourite things ever - was a happy accident as Bob Ross would say.

We appreciate that in an ideal world, we would be open 7 days a week with consistent hours. But that takes significant staffing, and in today's marketplace, that isn't sustainable for us. So instead of stretching ourselves thin, we go with the ebbs and flows of a season. If it's really quiet, we knock off a day that we're open. When it gets super busy - like during the Holidays, we go to 7 days a week.
