After more than 25 years in the interior design business, Kimberlee Stewart noticed there was something missing for some of her clients. “I found people had a difficult time choosing draperies from little sample books,” says Kimberlee. “I started this readymade program out of the back of my car, taking fabrics to clients’ homes and letting them see bigger samples.” Thus Chic Chic Readymades Inc. was born.

The boutique at Chic Chic Readymades Inc. is wall-to-wall with full-length panels and blind samples, so clients can get a better idea of full pattern repeats. “I’m the only one in Edmonton doing this," notes Kimberlee. "The gallery works well, it’s very easy for clients to view panels before purchasing.”
