Made In Canada – 16 July 2021

Summer Sales

We’ve arrived at that weird time in the summer when womenswear and beauty products are put on “End of Season” sale. Even though there are hopefully six or more weeks of gorgeous weather ahead of us, some of the best summer stuff can be had at a discount right now. Even better, many summer clothing items can be layered up to work during any season. 

▪️ Montreal beauty brand BKIND makes vegan and eco-friendly products for skin, nails, and hair, and right now some fan favourites are available at special prices. Duo Top and Base Coat Nail Polish set, popular with beauty fans who don’t want nasty chemicals in their nail polishes, is usually $30, but it’s only $20 at the moment. Meanwhile, the gorgeously branded Hand Gel Sanitizer in Lemon and Eucalyptus will look fabulous on the bathroom sink, and it’s currently half price at $7.50. 

▪️ Right now at Toronto’s Birds of North America, dresses, overalls and wrap tops have been marked down 30%. The Crescentchest Top is a classic long-sleeved wrap that will take you through the seasons. Usually $136, you can grab it now for $95.
