Meet Kari Mclay

Kari is the force behind Tulipe Noire, a lifestyle clothing store located in the South Jubilee suburb of Victoria, B.C.

Kari has a Masters Degree in Social Work specializing in group and family therapy. She had a long career in medical social work, working at a number of hospitals in both Montreal and Victoria. Kari grew up in retail - her grandfather opened a retail business in downtown Victoria in 1947. His business, Cowichan Trading, is still owned by their family and continues to be in operation to this day. Kari decided to open a retail store because she wanted the challenge of creating a unique environment for women of all ages and sizes. She wanted to nurture her creative side and to fulfill goals as a community fundraiser and philanthropist. Kari also works as an Educator / Life Skills Facilitator for the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Tulipe Noire is small and inviting. It is bright and cheerful and the staff are welcoming and kind. They specialize in casual timeless high quality clothing. Kari's style is classic, timeless and sophisticated. She is not one to follow trends and only wears natural fibres. Cotton, Silk, and Cashmere are her favourites and she loves artistic original jewelry.
