Love this and every brand mentioned. I would add Smoking Lily, which makes up half my closet.

Thank you!!! I saw the ovate hemlock dress like 5 years ago and told myself that i would remember the brand name and didnt need to write it down (i did not remember, shockingly) and have been looking for this brand ever since! my white whale

Thank you for the shoe reccos. I had my own great orthopaedic situation 10 years ago and it was quite traumatic to start shopping in the old lady shoe store. I have been looking at Maguire for a few years. Maybe it’s time to give them a try.

Maguire used to have amazing quality but it went down in recent years. 🥲

I would like to suggest looking at Montreal’s based Betina Lou shop for sustainable brands too !

Thanks for this list! My favourite Canadian brands in my closet are: Eve Gravel, Naked & Famous, Okayok, Minnow Bathers (swimwear), and Canada West (superior to Blundstones imo). So many great local businesses to support!

So many good things here—I really like those Maguire flats, but also your headscarf! (Sorry for my stupid country 😓 This definitely makes me want to buy Canadian, too)

I love your taste, it’s so unique!!! I’ve only ever heard of Maguire so I’m excited to check them out. I swore Okay To Rest was gonna be on this list 🥲❣️

They’re known for their blank tees and have the cutest packaging. By a very small Canadian business owner :)

Wow thanks for this - I didn’t know Comrags was still around. (And I’ll second Smoking Lily)

Love the shout out to Poppy Barley - I have a pair and I love them. And better fitting (for my feet) than Nisolo (comparable brand, not 🇨🇦)

Amazing! How would you describe the shoes you're wearing on the last photo? The beige boat loafer ones (and what brand are they?) thank youuu

Hooray, happy to see a fellow Fluevogger! I also love Comrags and Eliza Faulkner, and I’ve owned a Birds of North America dress. A great round up! 💕🇨🇦

I’m a mostly secondhand shopper so I’m not pro-Canadian but it’s nice to find. Made in [insert non-fast fashion manufacturing country] is always a plus.
