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.
