Fuelling the fire for all things homegrown, hewn and sewn, the newly opened Shopgirls stocks exclusively Canadian-made, mainly Torontonian-designed clothing, accessories, furniture and art. Set up in a renovated former hardware store, Michelle Germain makes use of her fine Holt Renfrew–honed eye—she used to be the advertising manager—to select a smart range of items. Standouts include a fabulous oversized clutch with a funky bright lining (from $100) from Klutch, Ashley Winnington ball necklaces made from recycled materials (from $160) and a contemporary birch plywood bubble chair ($950) by Graham McNally. Think of the store as a depot for locavores who want to look the part.
