Shop Share: Weezi

I got a very upsetting email this month that one of my absolute favourite stores in the whole world, Weezi, was closing it's bricks-and-mortar shop in my hometown of London, Ontario. Thankfully, the very talented person behind Weezi, Lisa Gaverluk, will continue to operate her website's online store and Etsy shop.

In light of this news, I thought I would give the Weezi shop a bit of much deserved promo, because I love it! Lisa makes handmade, retro and vintage-inspired stuff for ladies - clothing, aprons, accessories, jewellery, bags, etc. Her stuff is fun and funky and lovingly made in Canada. I've been a patron of her store since I was a teenager (when she had a shop in Galleria Mall, for those of you Londoners who remember it). Over the years I have acquired some amazing stuff from her, from dresses and skirts (I wore a fab pencil skirt in my recent blog post); to purses; pillows; aprons; my set of Audrey Hepburn coasters; jewellery; and as of this week, an adorable Russian Doll eyemask:

I only sleep in style

Even though, for the sake of this blog, her stuff isn't vintage or second hand, (although, she does use upcycled clothing and materials to make her stuff - you know, using old sweaters to make purses etc.), her shop fulfills the goals of this blog - to support local, small businesses and unique, high-quality fashionable goods. And it's all handmade in Canada!

So if you're looking for something fun and fashionable for yourself or a gift for someone else, I highly recommend checking out her website or Etsy shop. When you support local and handmade, you'll not only look fab, you'll feel fab too!
