Toronto clothing brand Tuck Shop Trading Company—best known for their popular City of Neighbourhoods products—has just opened its first flagship. After a year-long pop-up inside Love the Design at Yonge and Summerhill, the brand has taken over the entire space and transformed it into a little slice of cottage country in the city, complete with a picturesque back patio for events. Owner Lyndsay Borschke has filled the space with Tuck Shop’s own line of apparel and accessories, along with a handful of other cool Canadian-made lifestyle brands that give off a cozy, cabin-inspired vibe—no lakeside property necessary.

The window is decorated with Tuck Shop’s latest collaboration: a line of swimwear made with local brand Bather Trunk Company:

The line includes one-piece swimsuits ($168) and shorts printed with maps of Canada:

Handmade candles from Brennan Michael ($40) come in luxurious scents like jasmine and musk:

The shop prides itself on being ultra canine-friendly. Shoppers will usually be greeted by Borschke’s dog, Rosie:

This coffee table book, The Kauffman Mercantile Guide: How to Chop Wood, Shuck Oysters and Master Other Simple Pleasures, pretty much sums up the store’s philosophy:

The store also carries handmade sunglasses by PEI label Fellow Earthlings ($250):

Yes, you can buy axes here, too. This pair, a collaboration between Swedish axe maker Wetterlings and local studio Atelier Nomade, were hand-forged in Storvik and sell for a bit more than your hardware store variety ($380, to be exact):
