Local designer, Cassandra Burrell JUST opened up shop in downtown Halifax, and I’ve got the exclusive details on her grand opening!
CassBurr Designs is locally owned and operated by Canadian Fashion Designer, Cassandra Burrell.
Before attending New Brunswick College of Craft and Design, Cassandra studied music. She immediately knew Design was her true passion when realizing the highlight of her year at Mount Allison University was designing for a Fashion Show. She designed evening wear to raise money for Free the Children Organization.
After realizing Fashion was going to be her career, she focused on her own line in Fredericton New Brunswick. Cassandra began creating custom one of a kind dresses for women on the East coast while attending University.
Cassandra graduated from Applied Arts at University of New Brunswick, and New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. She then moved to Vancouver to gain inspiration from the West coast. While there, CassBurr Designs was launched and merged with Cassandra’s love for custom designed evening wear.
Cassandra now lives in Halifax Nova Scotia where she is working on her line, CassBurr Designs; the perfect collaboration of both beautiful coasts of Canada.
Using almost all natural fibers, Cassandra’s clothing style combines luxury and comfort, so you can look great without having to feel stiff or confined. With plenty of over-sized, flowy, and drapy fabrics Cassandra’s designs contains almost all oh so soft natural fibers. I absolutely love the simplicity of these pieces; I’ve been trying to make better investments of really great timeless pieces that I can wear time and time again, and I think Cassandra has really nailed it here with her designs.
Cassandra‘s designs can easily be worn causally or elevated by pairing them with heels or accessories, so you’ll really get a lot of wear out of them. I especially love this long white “erin dress” I think it would be perfect paired with some booties, and a leather jacket.
CassBurr designs is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11-7. And if you’re local to Halifax you’re more than welcome to attend the grand opening to check it all out for yourself and make sure to take advantage of that 20% discount for your first piece. Check out the details below!
