The Backstory...

Far + Wide started with the goal of bringing cool things to Kamloops. Not that Kamloops isn’t cool, we both grew up here so there has to be something in the water… we saw an opportunity to add to the downtown retail experience in a new and exciting way, while having a positive impact on our community.  

Four years and two stores later, the result is a thoughtful mix of handmade, independent, and women-owned brands, put on display for your shopping enjoyment. With plenty of friendly and knowledgeable help, should you need it!

We are proud to stock beautiful home decor, accessories, candles, jewellery, and bath + beauty products from over one hundred small brands – including local producers. To us, the story and people behind a product are as important as the products themselves and we work hard to bring new and exciting brands into the store, while increasing representation for BIPOC and LGBTQ2S+ owned brands.

Since the beginning, we have used our platform to better our community. This includes working closely with local creatives, makers, and artists, to promote their work in store and through Pop-Up Markets and in-store events. To date, this work has allowed us to pass along more than $250,000 in sales to these local partners. Paying them for their incredible work.
