13 Canadian Brands To Support If You’re Dreaming Of A New Handbag

This has certainly a strange year for handbags. But with the vaccine rollout picking up, it's starting to feel like we'll all be going out again and regularly wearing purses, totes, and shoulder bags soon. 
 
The good news is that there are plenty of stylish shapes and fun colours to choose from this spring, whenever you’re ready to buy that next Canadian handbag. And you can support homegrown fashion at the same time: We’ve put together a list of cool Canadian bag and accessories brands offering everything from handcrafted, small-batch leather creations to budget-friendly vegan styles.

There are colourful leather handbags, sleek ‘baguette’-style purses, sustainably made bucket bags and more, all designed locally and priced much less than your average designer bag. (It helps that many of these brands are direct-to-consumer, so there’s a smaller retail markup.)

Ahead, 13 Canadian purse brands to have on your radar, and the trending styles to shop this season.
