The new Canadiana (with no maple leaf in sight)

The new Canadiana (with no maple leaf in sight)

The Drake General Store can barely keep its Hudson’s Bay blankets and Mountie-themed cocktail napkins in stock. And these stackable porcelain cups? Store co-director Carlo Colacci had to call up Toronto designer Rob Southcott, a recent OCAD grad, for more.

“In the past year, there’s been a stronger sense of pride in being Canadian,” says Colacci. “It’s kind of trendy.”

$82 for a set of four. The Drake General Store, 1144 Queen St. W., 416-531-5042, ext. 101, thedrakehotel.ca.
