PEIL SPRING2019

Luna Eclectic Emporium

What treasures will you uncover in this whimsical boutique full of curios and oddities? Located in the Confederation Court Mall, Luna Eclectic Emporium is the perfect place to find unique gifts, from quirky clothing to fantastic shoes and eccentric home decor, jewellery, and kitchen gadgets. “I try to find things that nobody else carries,” says Jennifer Ridgway, Luna’s owner. “Different things. Weird and wonderful things. If you’re shopping for gifts for three very different people, you can find something for each of them here.” The emporium carries several clothing and footwear lines that aren’t available elsewhere on PEI, plus a huge selection of scarves and hats to complete any outfit. It all started in 2005, when Ridgway was walking down the street and noticed a perfect little shop that had recently been vacated. “I created a business around that space,” says Ridgway. “I think there’s a need for stores like this.” Luna isn’t targeted towards a specific demographic. Instead, the emporium encourages everyone to wander in, explore, look and touch. “Whether it’s a grandpa shopping for his granddaughter, or an 18-year-old buying a present for their first girlfriend,” says Ridgway, “we want everybody to feel comfortable coming in.” “It’s a fun space to hang out and browse while you’re downtown,” she adds. “We have a fun, chatty atmosphere, and we’re known for our great customer service.” Full of knickknacks and novelties, giant wineglasses and beautiful jewellery, crazy cards and funky books, Luna is a store that’s absolutely unique — just like you!
