One of the perks about working with this site is that I get the chance to hear about unique stores opening throughout Toronto and then pick my favourite to share with you. And it is safe to say that walking into Pipler Accessories was love at first sight.

Fitting perfectly into the vibrant and creative eastern Toronto community, Lilla and Clarkson have created a cozy local spot that will surely to become a neighbourhood gem in no time. But the beauty of this store is that they have carefully picked each item in stock to reflect their contemporary urban aesthetic from brands that fit into one of their four pillars of being sustainable, handmade, local or charity-driven.
