The History Of April Cornell

What started out as a funky little store, in a second-floor walk up, in Montreal, Canada, has now captured the attention of the entire world. Since its inception in 1975, April Cornell has consistently been changing the face of fashion with its exclusive inspirations of beautifully romantic floral prints and signature palettes, ranging from very vintage to the vivaciously vivid. To enter into an April Cornell lifestyle boutique is to be transported to another world Š and another time. Thirty years ago, Canadian-born owners, Chris and April Cornell set out on a journey -- determined yet unsuspecting as to where their travels to the Orient, and collective fine-tuned instincts would lead them. Today, they are an international company, boasting a 100-store chain of boutiques spanning both the United States and Canada. The secret behind the Cornell's continuing success is partially due to their uncanny ability to connect emotionally with their customers. The boutique feel is predominant in all of the April Cornell designs, allowing women to free their spirit in an inviting environment of rich color, luxurious textures, and ultra-feminine styles. Our customers tell us that April Cornell is their special place, a refuge from the world, just like their grandmother's attic, in essence, a place where they are free to dream, reflect, and be themselves. The Cornell's philosophy of making an occasion of everyday life appears seemingly simple, yet it¹s what makes everything they do distinctively special.
