Vancouver 2010 Red Mittens Around Town
byThe red mittens sold by HBC stores across the country are the hottest item at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.
Worn by thousands of torch-bearers over several months and priced at $10 a pair, they’re one of the best deals of the Games (and a great way to show some Canadian pride). Even Oprah herself got a pair (and a pair for her audience members) as these mittens have been the fashion cover story of the Games. Around Vancouver, the mittens are making appearances in some unlikely places.
Should you have photos that I may post of the “Girl in Wetsuit” or any other statues sporting the mittens, please add them to the Miss604 Flickr Group.

What a great idea the mittens were. Bargain priced too. Whoever thought that one up here is your pat on the back!
Awesome. I’d only heard about the ones on the Inukshuk. I’ll keep my eyes open for others.
SO cute ~ love to see the fun spirit in our beautiful city!
I think there’s an idea for a kind of absurdist site in “RedMittensLostandFound.com”.
Becky, I still have your one lost mitten at my house. I hope you were able to get another pair. (I’m keeping this one lonely mitt)
The lions on the Lions Gate Bridge have them on their paws (south end of the bridge, anyways!). I loved it but couldn’t get a pic as I just saw them last minute. 🙂
