While we’re big fans of these three big brands, we’re always on the lookout for other homegrown options that also fit into the cool-girl category. From small-batch accessories to made-in-Europe shoes, these brands are all at various stages of retail renown — but are equally as It girl-approved.
Rest assured, there’s at least one wish list design to be found among every single one of them.
Here are 20 cool-girl — and Canadian — fashion and jewelry brands to know.
Maguire Shoes
Eliza Faulkner
A Bronze Age
Kara Yoo Jewelry
Vancouver-based jewelry designer Kara Yoo is constantly ahead of the curve. Her jewelry creations, which include sculptural silver designs, precious seed pearl pieces and more, always seem to offer the next big thing before, well, it’s the next big thing.
Brunette the Label
Silk Laundry
SMYTHE
The Disco Hour
Liza Gozlan
Horses Atelier
The wool Alchemical Coat from Toronto-based brand Horses Atelier has been on my personal wish list for years now. But, if we’re being honest, the whole collection is covetable. Designed and made in Canada, the pieces by co-founders — and best friends — Heidi Sopinka and Claudia Dey are created with longevity and long-term wearability in mind.
Beaufille
&OR Collective
Ahiri
Cherry Gardens
Because we all love a little loungewear in our lives, Toronto-based Cherry Gardens is a must-shop stop for all things cute and comfy. Inspired by the styles of the early aughts — think: flares and cropped tees in super-soft fabrics — founder Myla Davey creates mix-and-match separates that are ethically made and intentionally inclusive.
Aaniin
Indigenous streetwear brand Aaniin is a hub of discovery of both in-house designs and other Indigenous-owned brands and businesses. From bike shorts to hair scrunchies, there’s something here for everyone.
Decade Studio
Sonya Lee
Designed and made in Vancouver, small-batch accessories brand Sonya Lee creates timeless accessories that also happen to hit on the hottest trends. Inspired by founder Stephanie Sonya Ibbitson’s take on art, architecture and contemporary perception, the brand has been crafting covetable designs since 2014.
Boheme Goods
