Five Canadian-made goods we're loving this month
Canadian-made goods
Money bags
In her home studio in Nelson, B.C., Tracy Fillion makes sturdy canvas carryalls out of old Royal Canadian Mint bags. Perfect for toting to the farmers’ market or beach this summer.
Tote bag, $68, Dear Pony.
Sweet nectar
Made in small batches from a single forest in northern Ontario, this organic maple syrup comes in three distinct colours and flavours — blonde, amber and copper. We love the minimal design and the sleek apothecary-style bottles.
Maple syrup, $25, Drip Maple.
Scented scenery
These hand-poured soy candles and homemade shea butter salves come in scents that celebrate our nation’s diverse landscape. Choose the smell that’s closest to your hometown (or heart!).
Candles, from $28, Salves, $22, Smells Like Canada.
Linen love
Inspired by our native flora and fauna, Jen Kneulman transfers her whimsical hand-rendered designs onto linen tea towels, napkins, pillows and aprons.
Tea towel, $25, Pillow, $82, Freshly Printed.
Kelp your skin
Ahoy! This East Coast skincare line infuses all of its products with antioxidant-rich sea kelp and other local ingredients like apple cider and clay from the Bay of Fundy. Our faves are the chubby lip balms and non-greasy, mildly scented lotion.
Lip balm, $5, Soap, $6, Lotion, from $10, Nova Scotia Fisherman.
