About Us
WHERE TREASURES & TRADITIONS TAKE FLIGHT!
CANARY offers a specialized online shopping experience. We're dedicated to curating and offering the finest in brand-new and pre-owned fine, fashion, and designer jewelry as well as pre-owned designer handbags & accessories.
Our catalog includes a variety of jewelry and accessory options across all price points. It is our goal to ensure that we have something special for birds of every feather!
It all started in 2019 with a simple question amongst a circle of jewelry-loving friends: Where can we sell or consign jewelry that we no longer wear? The options turned out to be much less dazzling than the pieces we were looking to sell...
Our highly experienced and award-winning founder and CEO – Shannon Bowen-Smed – immediately recognized that she could create a better option. And just like that, the first iteration of CANARY was hatched!
Since then, CANARY has evolved! Today, our jewelry catalog also includes meticulously selected new jewelry items created by reputable manufacturers and up-and-coming designers. In addition, we are now also working with other female operated organizations to bring our flock an array of authenticated, highly sought after accessories.
CANARY's pre-owned designer handbag and accessories partner, The Designers Closet Canada (TDCC), was born out of a passion for smart, sustainable shopping. Together, we make it easy to buy or consign your favourite high-end, authentic designer bags and accessories.
We value our customers above all and adhere to the highest industry standards:
- All new & pre-owned products have met quality and vetting requirements.
- All pre-owned brand-name designer inventory listed has met our authentication requirements.
- We offer amongst the most competitive consignment commission structures.
- We offer secure and flexible payment options and a Buy Now, Pay Later option.
- Responsive and attentive customer service that always goes the extra mile.
CANARY's rigorous evaluation and authentication process takes all precautions to ensure what we sell is the "real deal".
We partner with the International Gemological Laboratory (IGL) for objective third-party valuation and authentication of brand-new and pre-owned fine, fashion & designer jewelry.
For pre-owned designer handbags & accessories, our partner (TDCC) has over 15 years of authentication training and valuation experience and also uses trusted third-party luxury authenticators such as Entrupy.
