If you want to buy gifts that are very “Canadian” as well as fashionable, Roots Canada will have
something for everyone on your list.
This clothing retailer was founded in 1973, and since then, has grown from selling shoes to items such as clothing for adults, children and babies, bags, watches, luggage, athletic and yoga wear, accessories and home furnishings. Roots is very well known for its excellent quality
leather, with bags coming in various sizes and colours. I own a few that I’ve had for over a decade. As a bonus, there is always a Sales Items rack somewhere in the store.
There are several locations throughout the city, including fashionable Queen Street West, the
Eaton Centre shopping mall, and on Bloor Street, Toronto’s location for high fashion.
