The northeast corner of the building has undergone a
transformation with doors and windows opened to the
sidewalk. A fully-accessible, street level entrance and
freshly restored windows now form an enticing bank
of storefront retail space along Richmond Street.
These new light-filled spaces are home to Swipe
Design | Books + Objectsand the Spacing Store.
Swipe will be relocating to the east entrance area
from their current location and Spacing is opening
their first bricks and mortar city store which will
include their magazine publishing office.
These neighbouring retail spaces are combining
forces to offer a special shopping experience for the
design-savvy urban dweller. Swipe continues to offer
a selection of contemporary books on graphic
design, advertising, architecture and urbanism
alongside a thoughtful selection of well-designed
products for adults and kids. Spacing will be
carrying unique merchandise items inspired by
Toronto and other Canadian cities including a huge
selection of their famous buttons (subway station
ones included).
The two stores will have matching hours over the
holiday season and are participating in Frolic 4and the
Artisans Marketplace.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW
Rita Vinieris bridal boutique Rivini Designwas part of the first wave of tenants to move in
to 401 Richmond. The up and coming designer
was profiled in the 1997 issue of our newsletter
just following a studio expansion to accommodate her
growing business. Her sleek designs were quickly
growing in popularity amongst modern brides
seeking an alternative to mainstream gowns. After
many years sewing her way to critical acclaim at401, Rivi ni outgrew their studio and moved the
operation to a much larger workspace. Since then
the label has exploded landing Rita amongst the
most sought after couture bridal designers. It also
landed her on the runway of Mercedes-Benz
Fashion Weekin New York Citylast year whereshe debuted her line of cocktail dresses.
