What to know about Neighbour
A boutique, not a label
Neighbour is a multi-brand shop opened in Vancouver's Gastown in 2011, so what you're browsing is a buy — international menswear and womenswear chosen by its owners.
Heritage outerwear meets Japanese design
The mix pairs traditional makers like Mackintosh with contemporary Japanese and European designers, which is why shirts and knitwear anchor the selection.
Sells objects alongside clothes
Books, lifestyle goods and collaborations in furniture and homeware sit next to the apparel; Saager Dilawri and Karyna Schultz buy for the men's and women's sides respectively.

Brand facts
Neighbour is a multi-brand boutique opened by Saager Dilawri in Vancouver's Gastown district in 2011, initially stocking only 60 to 70 pieces from a handful of international labels. It now covers menswear and womenswear, with buying and styling on the women's side led by Dilawri's wife and business partner, Karyna Schultz. The selection pairs heritage outerwear such as Mackintosh with contemporary Japanese and European designers, alongside books and lifestyle objects. Collaborations extend past clothing into furniture and homeware. Both owners were named to the Business of Fashion's BoF 500 in 2025.
