When asked if they’d do anything differently if they could start over, the pair agreed: “There are millions of things we’d change, and we’d change nothing at all. Growing and learning is part of the journey–just like it shapes us, individuals, it also shapes us as a company. We firmly believe in progress over perfection and continue to embrace that approach no matter how full of missteps and learnings.”
The Co-Founders are inspired to create more meaningful products every day while taking their responsibility of caring for the planet and people very seriously. Their endeavours allow them to have fun, creating a creative environment that allows growth for all those at Poppy Barley. If their brand and purpose don’t bring a better future, what’s the point? They aspire for Poppy Barley to be a well-recognized brand and loved for its values, design, and intentionality.
If you’d like to follow Poppy Barley’s journey, you can keep up with them on Instagram at @poppybarley, or visit them in-store at Southgate Centre in Edmonton, or Calgary’s Market Mall. For outside cities, keep an eye on their Popup rotation for a location near you!

Crystal Cervantes has spent the better part of the last decade writing, taking photographs, and wandering from book to book. As a born storyteller, she finds enjoyment in surrounding herself with those who push her from her introverted shell to experience adventure at every turn.
Crystal graduated from BYU with a degree in Political Science and a minor in English. She is a Content Writer for Best Version Media and freelances at a variety of publications. Crystal has written two books, the Deviation Series, and is currently working on her third novel. Through her struggle of writing two books, she realized she created a personal writer's notebook that could help others organize their thoughts and plot, the Gladius Journal.
