Beyond The Alley

Finding an outfit that accentuates your best features and works with your eye colour should be a breeze in any shop worth its salt. This vision perfectly describes Beyond The Alley. Founded by Leslie Tinkler (Joshi), the brand is more than just a clothing boutique; it’s a destination designed to empower women through fashion. A well-chosen assortment of fashionable clothing, accessories, and jewellery is available at the boutique. Featuring high-quality merchandise purchased from companies worldwide, including Canada, the fundamental purpose is empowering women to express their styles proudly.

Beyond The Alley is located on Winnipeg’s Academy Road, in the heart of a vibrant district of boutiques and businesses. Its name honours the old Uptown Lanes bowling alley, which inhabited the location for nearly 60 years. While the bowling lanes are no longer in use, the boutique’s inviting atmosphere invokes nostalgia and a feeling of community. Beyond The Alley is characterized by its great customer service, with skilled stylists who enjoy assisting customers in discovering new outfits or revamping their old collections. This dedication to personal style and fashion perfection guarantees that clients want an unforgettable shopping experience both in-store and online.

Leslie Tinkler, a seasoned veteran in the world of women’s fashion, has left an indelible mark on Beyond The Alley. Her global experiences and collaborations with renowned designers have shaped the boutique’s unique identity. Despite a brief hiatus, Leslie’s passion for creating a personal and engaging retail environment drew her back into the fold. She is a familiar face at the store, always ready to welcome loyal patrons and new visitors. Her most cherished moments are witnessing customers’ joy in finding their perfect outfits.

When she is not at her store, Leslie often scours marketplaces for elegant and modern objects to add to her collection. Beyond The Alley has thrived under her guidance as a symbol of Winnipeg’s distinct flair and community spirit.
