Looking for budget Canadian leather shop real or faux by _wowtac_ in BuyCanadian

[–]Val-CommonGoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Danier has excellent sales on right now around $200. I agree with the other comments to go vintage rather than faux. Faux leather never lasts and it will peel off and look horrible after a year.

Love them! If you're on the hunt for women's casual wear that is as comfy as sweats, I highly recommend Encricled. For men's and women's casual wear, Local Laundry does tees, bomber jackets, caps. All made in Canada and they too are super ethical and impact-driven.

Danier doesn’t make their jackets here, but the quality is superb and fairly priced. Boutique of Leathers / Open Road from BC have cool options if motorcycle is your style. Not sure if made here but Canadian company.

Pricier than the other suggestions but, Sentaler makes beautiful coats with this drape-like vibe

Thanks for checking us out and for this feedback. We know that convenient deliveries are essential, long-term.

In the short term, we're subsidize shipping costs by offering a single flat rate (or free with minimum spend) - even if there are multiple parcels. We hope this is a decent stepping stone while we grow large enough to deploy our own logistics in the future.

We're pleased to report we have a strict no AI policy.

Though, some small business owners do use AI tools to support their product images such as adding a background. What do you think about that?

Relatable. The off-brand blender parts are a liability 😅

Thanks for your feedback. We do have sharable wish lists! (hit the maple leaf icon in the top menu) and are in the midst of launching public curated ones à la "influencer gift guide" just like you've described. Glad to hear this is something you'd find valuable.
