Your Super Friendly Guide to Toronto’s Design Districts is Here
We asked our friends at some of the coolest Toronto design stores to share their favourite neighbourhood haunts – for grub, threads and culture
We visited over 373 shops, showrooms and other cool spots this year to bring you DL’s Annual Shopping Guide – a handy Toronto design resource for everything from the lowdown on that killer lighting boutique to inspirational pin-ups of Toronto homes. In the spirit of fierce new finds, we went a step further and asked our friends running our favourite shops to name the best of everything in their neighbourhoods. This is where they told us to eat, get cultured and window shop.
