For the first time in probably ever, the season’s most covetable style essentials are being designed and produced right here in Toronto. A league of artisans are setting up ateliers in Dupont warehouses and Chinatown apartments, creating luxe totes, quirky swimsuits and Gaga-calibre specs. It’s the kind of stuff you’ll never find on the runways of Milan or New York—and that’s what makes it great. Here, our favourite locally crafted designer duds.

The best stuff made in the city
