Minutiae Boutique

Alessandra Salvati’s Passion for Fashion

- Krista Deverson

In life, it’s the tiny details, the subtleties, that often make the biggest impact. Alessandra Salvati, Owner of Minutiae Boutique in Toronto, knows this truth all too well, having spent her life focused on the finer points of fashion design and the fashion industry.

She named her boutique Minutiae, a Latin word, meaning the small details that make something unique, to represent the very unique and beautifully designed merchandise created by emerging designers from all over the world.

At her boutique, the fine details are in both the distinctive designer garments, the nuanced taste of her fashion-forward clients, and in her own thorough and indepth background in the fashion industry.

Born into a fashion family, it’s only natural that fashion became Alessandra’s biggest passion. Both of her parents worked in fashion while she was growing up; her Mom was a buyer for a major department store when she was a child and her father imported men’s clothing from Italy for his own men’s store.
