What's a Dépanneur?

Dépanneur /de.pa.nœʁ/.
aka the dep.


It's the French-Canadian word for a corner-store or bodega, but it comes from the verb "Dépanner"; to help out. Here, Stark's curated Dépanneur helps you discover other indie-brands who are creating items we are obsessed with.

Each brand and item is hand-selected by Jess as something worthy of a l'il splurge. So go on, have a look around the Dep!
