MODERN KARIBOU modernkaribou.ca
Call me old fashioned, but I still prefer bricks, mortar and a change room when it comes to clothes shopping. If I’m scouting new buys for the home, though, I say bring on the e-tailers, especially a site like the recently launched Modern Karibou, which specializes in Canadian-designed and -made furniture and accessories.
