This Ilk
We can’t get enough of Tamara Bavdek’s vintage lace jewelry. Both elegant and edgy, her designs can transition from a chill afternoon in Parkdale to a swanky night out in Yorkville. The brand is distributed around the world and available online at thisilk.com and Etsy.
Stay Home Club
Self-described “design for the disgruntled,” Stay Home Club is a sassy brand that makes clothes for perennial grumps. The label is run by Olivia Mew, but also features the work of several contributing Canadian artists. Stay Home Club offers apparel, home decor and accessories (check out their patches and pins!) online at stayhomeclub.com.
Travis Taddeo
Travis Taddeo designs minimalist streetwear that proves the genre can be as elegant as it is “street.” His jersey dresses for women ring in at reasonable prices and flatter the form like a dream. Menswear ranges from leather gym shorts to swishy below-the-hip jersey tanks. Shop online at travistaddeo.com.
