How lucky we are to live in Canada, where so much extraordinary local talent lets us live the good life, daily. In honour of Canada Day, we’re rounding up some of our favourite contributors to Canadian fashion, beauty, food and culture:
Judith & Charles: With 10 boutiques across the country, including two in Calgary and a newly designed online store, Judith & Charles is a true Canadian success story, founded more than 20 years ago by husband-and-wife duo Charles Le Pierres and Judith Richardson. Made in Canada using high quality fabrics sourced from Italy and Japan, this modern collection is our go-to brand when seeking work-appropriate pieces that still feel fashion-savvy. www.judithandcharles.com
Thera Wise: Concocted and manufactured in Canada, Thera Wise Skin Care offers 99% bioactive, natural plant origin versions of indispensable personal care products. Think acne cream, hydrocortisone, vaporizing rub and diaper rash ointment recreated with chamomile oil, calendula, argan oil, aloe and a host of other ingredients you can understand far more clearly than those in their conventional counterparts. www.therawise.com
Edible Canada: We’ve been fans of this B.C.-based bistro and tours company since it launched in the early aughts. Why? Edible celebrates Canadian food culture in a fresh, exciting way that seeks to provide opportunities for everyone to experience authentic local culinary experiences, from a meal of Alberta bison short ribs in house to a weekend of game meat and whiskey in the Yukon. www.ediblecanada.com
Tei Shi: We first fell in love with this Vancouver-raised indie-electro songstress’ languid, hypnotic hit Nevermind the End last year, and have been watching her meteoric rise into pop stardom since, with nods from V magazine, Teen Vogue and Rolling Stone (natch). This summer, be sure to catch Tei Shi on the festival loop (she’ll be at Squamish Fest and Toronto’s Bestival). www.teishimusic.com
True, patriot love. —Adrienne Matei
