Artist Douglas Coupland teams up with Roots for a techno-savvy line of clothing

Nobody channels Canadiana better than Roots. Founded in 1973, this iconic beaver-branded store continues to reinvent our national heritage with clothing and bags for men, women and children. In keeping with the times—think: age of computers—Roots has partnered with West Coast-based author/artist Douglas Coupland for a collection of shirts, sweaters, bags, passport holders, belts and jackets. The test-patterned dress ($68) and t-shirt (pictured, $40) are inspired by all things digital; motherboard-printed clothing and electric current–themed leather duffle bags ($598) also factor in prominently. And it doesn’t get more patriotic then a tee emblazoned with a pixelated maple leaf. These collectable items won’t be around for long, so purchase them now in-store or online at www.roots.com/douglascoupland.—Jennifer Patterson
