The holiday season has arrived! Historic Kerrisdale Village sparkles at this time of the year when streets are dressed with banners and lights, and shops are decorated and stocked with unique gifts. While strolling and shopping, pause to appreciate the festive store windows that our local merchants have lovingly and creatively designed as they compete for the Kerrisdale Business Association’s (KBA) bestdecorated window. Once you’ve completed your shopping, warm up and enjoy a meal at your favourite restaurant or cafe.
This past September, Kerrisdale Business Association hosted its annual Kerrisdale Days with the outdoor movie “Mamma Mia!” in Elm Park, super sidewalk sales, pop-up musicians, and horse and carriage rides. We extend a big thank you to Moore’s Bakery for providing free cake to celebrate Kerrisdale’s 119th birthday.
In December, the KBA provides free holiday horse and carriage rides, strolling brass bands, Christmas quartets and tubas. On December 15, celebrate the season with “Gliding on Ice,” a free skate at Kerrisdale Cyclone Taylor Arena.
Featured on the cover are Faizah and Shenaz, daughters of the owners of Monaliza’s Fine Lingerie —one of Canada’s top lingerie boutiques located in the heart of the village.

Customers are drawn by the rare, hard-to-find pieces that reflect Monaliza’s commitment to quality and exclusivity.
Hager Books, a beloved independent bookstore, is known for its carefully curated selection across various genres and has been a community fixture for 50 years. With personalized service and a strong connection to local readers, it remains a cherished destination for bibliophiles.
Updates in Kerrisdale: Jess’ Restaurant has transitioned to Jess’ Cafe and now specializes in brunch with their signature Croffles. Homeslice is a family-owned and operated bakery that recently opened on West Blvd. Nana’s Green Tea moved out of the village, Enviable Designs moved two doors over, and Framing and Art has closed. Nakamura Japanese Cuisine is temporarily closed for repairs due to a fire next door.
As we enter this festive season—whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa— we wish you all the joy, peace, and love the holidays bring, and a bright and healthy 2025.

MONALIZA’S FINE LINGERIE: Luxurious and Beautifully Crafted Garments
Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Sandra Steier & submitted
Kerrisdale residents are fortunate to have one of Canada’s top lingerie boutiques in the heart of the village. Voted among Vancouver’s top lingerie stores by FASHION magazine, Monaliza’s Fine Lingerie is known for its craftsmanship, comfort, and luxurious materials while staying true to the elegance that defines the boutique.
Long-term Kerrisdale residents may remember Vanity Lingerie, located at the corner of West 41st Avenue and Yew Street. Mo Shahban worked with owner Burton Chark, who became his friend and mentor. When Vanity Lingerie closed, Mo and Rahima Shahban opened Monaliza’s.
Many customers witnessed Mo and Rahima’s daughters grow up as they worked alongside their parents. Faizah, Shafia and Shenaz continue to contribute to the store, although their roles have shifted as their careers have blossomed. A team of long-time staff also work at the store.
Rahima says, “Working with such an exceptional team makes every day more fulfilling, and the added privilege of collaborating with family enriches the experience even further. No two days are
ever the same, as the dynamic nature of this business keeps things exciting and fresh.”
The family is grateful for the generations of women who patronize the business. Customers return repeatedly, drawn by the rare, hard-to-find pieces that reflect Monaliza’s commitment to quality and exclusivity. The unique selection and personalized service create an enduring connection that keeps their clients engaged. This sense of exclusivity and the allure of discovering something truly special continues to set Monaliza apart.
The
shop is preparing to celebrate its 30th anniversary in
a few months, a true achievement in the ever-changing retail world.
“We remain deeply committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and luxury,” says Rahima.
“We place a strong emphasis on the unparalleled benefits of natural fabrics. We firmly believe that materials like organic
cotton and bamboo are the most sustainable choices and provide superior comfort, breathability, and longevity. These ecoconscious fabrics have become central to our collections as we prioritize the health and well-being of our customers and the environment.”
Bridal and bra fittings remain a key part of Monaliza’s business. Helping their customers find the perfect fit for special occasions and everyday wear is an integral part of their top-notch customer service.
The exquisite lingerie is renowned for its intricate lacework, bold embroidery and colourful designs.
“There is no greater compliment than knowing our reputation for precision fittings and exceptional service has inspired such trust and word-of-mouth recommendations. It is equally rewarding to hear how transformative our fittings are—whether a client has found the perfect bra or an elegant nightgown, providing them with comfort and newfound confidence.”
Monaliza’s is stocked with lingerie and sleepwear from the world’s top designers.
Luxurious, high-quality robes marry comfort with elegance. Innovative shapewear provides function and style. The carefully selected brands exemplify their commitment to offering the finest in quality, design, and customer satisfaction.
“Our customers consistently favour silk, Pima cotton, and bamboo for their unrivalled softness, breathability, and luxurious drape. These natural materials offer comfort and reflect the growing demand for sustainability and quality. Long, lace-trimmed nightgowns
and elegant chemises remain classic favourites, combining sophistication with ease. In addition, chic prints are increasingly sought after for those who want to lounge in style or make an impression during a Zoom meeting.”
“Kerrisdale balances modern living with a strong sense of tradition and charm.”
The Shabans love the close-knit, friendly vibe of the neighbourhood. They adore Kerrisdale’s balance of modernity and tradition.
The family values their deep connections with customers and seeing those relationships flourish over time.
“There is genuine joy in the fun and laughter we share, whether with clients or our dedicated team, all while being surrounded by luxurious and beautifully crafted garments.”
They have curated an exquisite selection of items from their most beloved brands for the upcoming holiday season, featuring elegant gift sets and exclusive seasonal pieces. These collections embody the perfect balance of luxury and comfort. Each item has been thoughtfully chosen, from timeless classics to festive new arrivals.
As Monaliza’s 30th-anniversary approaches, the Shahbans look forward to commemorating this significant anniversary alongside their faithful customers and community.
Rahima says, “We are often invited to
participate in events that promote women’s health and well-being, where we can offer our expertise in a way that makes a tangible difference.”
“One of the most memorable events was the Heiltsuk Women’s Wellness Health Fair in Bella Bella, where we were honoured to provide a bra clinic to the residents of the Heiltsuk Nation. This experience was especially meaningful, as it allowed us to contribute not just products but knowledge, comfort, and confidence to women in a remote community. Initiatives like these reaffirm our belief that giving back is not just a responsibility but a privilege, one that allows us to share the values of care and connection that define Monaliza’s. Through these efforts, we aim to uplift and empower women, knowing that our business can be a force for positive change far beyond our doors.”
“We believe the best way to celebrate is by giving back. This occasion is not merely a reflection of three decades of success but a tribute to the people and principles that have sustained us throughout. We will collaborate with local organizations to mark this moment, reaffirming our long-standing commitment to supporting and empowering the community. This initiative represents our gratitude and continued dedication to the values that have guided Monaliza’s from the beginning,” says Rahima.

HAGER BOOKS: The Story Continues
Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Carolynne Palla
A neighbourhood somehow feels more complete when it includes an independent bookstore, and Kerrisdale is extremely fortunate that Hager Books has been a constant and anchoring presence in the community for fifty years.
Andrea Davies purchased the business from her friend, Louise Hager, who opened Hager Books in 1974. Andrea took over the business in 1985 and owned it until 2022, when she
retired. Hager Books’ manager, Carrie, is thrilled that established business Black Bond Books stepped in and took Hager Books under its umbrella.
Andrea’s stepdaughters Carrie, Susannah, and her sister Kim continue to work at the shop. Staff members Alanna, Erica, and Jaana round out the team.
Carrie says, “We are still the Hager Books that everyone knows and loves. Our customers are so grateful. We often hear them say they are glad the shop is still here.”
The book-loving staff are happy to share their recommendations.
They are all avid readers and offer opinions about their favourite genre of books; regular customers know who to consult if they are looking for something specific.
Carrie mentions that competition from online shopping has never been an issue; customers often report they would rather buy a book in person and support the well-loved bookstore.
There is something very special about a bound book, from the weight of holding it in your hands and being able to flip to a certain page to reread a section, to the smell, the artwork, the satisfaction of reaching the last page, sometimes the sad goodbye when a book concludes that you love so much and don’t want it to ever end, and finally finding a home for it on a bookshelf, or passing it along to a friend as a must-read.
Explore the staff’s top picks shelf at the front of the store; it is updated frequently and offers a diverse representation of genres.
“We select our books carefully with our customers in mind.”
“We are good at curating books. We know
our customers, and we know what books they enjoy. People are welcome to browse. It’s also a kid-friendly store with a good selection of children’s books.”
The space was formerly a shoe store, and the shelves were cleverly converted to display books.
While the cozy space is at a premium, there is a wide selection to choose from, including art, biographies, business, Canadian content, children, cooking, fantasy, fiction, gardening, history, mystery, psychology, and reference.
Hager Books hosts occasional book signings; local authors such as Iona Whishaw will drop in to promote their books. Black Bond Books holds bigger events off-site (check their website for details), and Book Warehouse, a division of Black Bond Books, is the official bookseller for the Vancouver Writers Festival.
October through December is busy as people start shopping for the holiday season.
the pandemic, and calendars make wonderful gifts for the upcoming year.
If you are looking for gifts, Carrie recommends customer favourites such as The God of the Woods by Liz Moore and The Postcard by Anne Berest. Newly released coffee table books make beautiful and memorable presents, including What the Bees See by Craig P. Burrows and Dare to Bird by Melissa Hafting.
Customers enjoy the cloth tote bags with Beatrix Potter designs. Puzzles remain top sellers after their increase in popularity during
What makes Hager Books stand out? Carrie says, “It’s definitely our customer service. We know many people by name and will call them when we’ve got something new that we think they’ll like.”
Happy anniversary, Hager Books. Here’s to the next fifty years!
