This sweet, sustainable living shop, located in the lovely Roncesvalles neighbourhood, offers up a wide array of products to help us all make purchases that protect our planet. Their products are carefully curated to ensure they’re made from sustainable materials in an environmentally and socially responsible manner, and are often sourced locally as well! From reusable bags, bottles, and food containers to natural body and home care products, consciously crafted cards, and goods great for gifting, they make it easy to consume consciously!
As a “support local shopaholic”, this is definitely a store I find hard to walk out of empty-handed. I’ve bought a bunch here, from seed bombs to sustainable swaps like planet-friendly nail polish and a pair of mittens made from old sweaters. You’ll definitely leave feeling inspired to shop more sustainably moving forward!
Making this shop even more worth the visit is the awesome area it's in… Roncesvalles is undoubtedly one of my favorite streets in the city because of all the sweet shops, cute cafes, and many more fun finds along it! I’d suggest checking out the cool selection of snacks at The Source Bulk Foods, getting ice cream from Ed’s Real Scoop, or grabbing a secondhand or new book from A Good Read.
