NOUN ORIGIN: LAT. TABULA RASA “A CLEAN SLATE”
1. A YOUNG MIND NOT YET AFFECTED BY
EXPERIENCE, IMPRESSIONS
2. A NEED OR AN OPPORTUNITY TO START
FROM THE BEGINNING.
Tabula Rasa is a boutique created for women who love all things vintage and new. It is a collection of exceptional vintage clothing, reworked pieces, to new and upcoming labels, this is the concept behind Tabula Rasa. As the name suggests, our philosophy is an individual style that is completely unexpected, unplanned, but completely relevant. Owner and designer, Jennifer Park draws inspiration from the runway to the everyday people on the streets.
“Vintage clothing is also very dear to me because each piece is special, one of a kind, and at the same time we are recycling clothing, and reducing our carbon footprint. I am inspired by women who are fearless with their fashion, yet have an effortless way of expressing it.”
After graduating from The Ryerson School of Fashion, Jennifer pursued her fashion interests first as a designer at Le Chateau in Montreal. Looking for her own life inspiration, she left Montreal and started her business Tabula Rasa in October of 2009.
With her experiences and education, Tabula Rasa’s concept is to combine vintage and new clothing under one house.
