The best fall Madewell essentials available at Toronto’s new Nordstrom

When Nordstrom landed in Toronto last week, the department store brought with it the city’s very own (and very first) mini Madewell boutique. Nordstrom is the exclusive Canadian retailer of the American label—which has a cultish following for its timeless basics—and will stock select pieces from the brand’s collections each season. Here, our favourite must-haves for autumn:
