Originally from London, England, Marion started her fashion career in 2001 at the renowned British fashion house, Ghost. There she worked her way up from apprentice to manager, buyer and merchandiser. After moving to Vancouver, Marion turned her love for fashion into a unique, low pressure, customer-led shopping experience with the opening of Tenth & Proper in March of 2007.
Tenth & Proper offers a unique selection of European and Canadian womenswear with a focus on times, ageless and well cut styles. Comfort is paramount when choosing styles for the boutique as Marion believes that comfort should be the most important consideration when you are adding to your wardrobe. “It’s hard to look good if you don’t feel great in what you’re wearing.” says Marion “So, be realistic about choosing things you know you’ll wear because you feel good in them and they complement your existing wardrobe.”
