When you take a look through your closet, what kind of clothing and accessories do you see? How many of them are mass-produced? Probably most. How many of them are handmade? How many are local products, created right here in the city? How many of them helped a fellow Londoner make ends meet for their family? Probably not many of them.
The cool thing is that you absolutely CAN fill your closet with local clothes and accessories! Many of these products are handmade with love and care. Many of these are created right here in London, Ontario. And ALL of these are high quality and help fellow Londoners to feed their families and achieve their dreams.
Take a look at the beautiful options and incredible brands that you can support from the comfort of your own home.
