Make sure you shop local this Christmas in Vancouver. Every year when Christmas rolls around, I get so excited for the chance to support small local businesses in my area. Personally, I love quality over quantity. I know first hand how amazing it feels to get a booking/order as a small business and I always want to spread that cheer. So I encourage you to shop small this year in Vancouver for Christmas and support all these amazing artists in your area. Order online or find out which markets they will be at during the holiday season. My favourite days during the holidays consist of a warm drink and walking around a market finding the perfect, thoughtful gifts for my loved ones. Here are some of my favourite artists and brands to shop local in Vancouver for Christmas. 

Kepola Design House

My all time favourite linen clothing. Handmade to perfection. Layer them up for winter or perfect throw ons in the summer. I wear my Kepola pieces all year long. Vancouver friends, you will have to order online. Shop here.

Hendriks Series

Hendriks series also just came out with a stunning linen line. In collaboration with other artists, Hendriks creates stunning pieces that fall perfectly. Check out their Instagram for market dates in the Sea to Sky area. Shop here.

Siiri and Stone 

My favourite jewelry to purchase year round and for Christmas in Vancouver. I am always wearing at least one of her pieces and everything sparkles to perfection. Siiri also has a beautiful imprint collection that creates the most thoughtful, beautiful gifts for those special people in our lives. Shop here.

Legging heaven. The perfect Christmas gift for every outdoor adventurista. Choose from a selection of beautiful patterns or some basic solid colours, these leggings do not disappoint. Shop here.

Yoga has been an amazing outlet for me recently, and I am always practicing on my Supported Soul mat. The highest of quality, they are hands down the best mats I have ever owned. Shop here.
