Touch of rock ’n’ roll comes to the area

Owners Paul Mailing, Stephen George and Jeff Karp recently opened the doors to Serpentine in Yorkville. Carrying clothing lines, including Rick Owens, the new boutique looks to fill a gap in the current Toronto shopping landscape.

“There’s no representation here,” Mailing says regarding his inventory. “It’s a little bit darker, a little bit grimier, a little bit more rock ’n’ roll.” In addition to clothing, the shop will also feature a selection of designer jewellery lines.
