Issue 2: Oh Canada... all things Canadian made

Written by Leigh-Ann Allaire

If you received last week’s inaugural Huesday Tuesday newsletter, you got a tiny sneak peek inside our new Burlington, Ontario studio and shop that will officially be opening in early November.

Now, we don’t mean to be a tease, BUT this week we thought we’d give you another exclusive peek at some of the items that will fill the shop shelves and soon be available to ship across Canada from our brand-spankin’-new website! And speaking of which... keep an eye on your inbox for a VIP invite to our virtual launch party happening SOON ;)

The new Hue La La website will include both a lifestyle section devoted to design inspiration and DIY tutorials, as well as a shop section full of modern decor, unique gifts, and a sprinkling of one-of-a-kind vintage finds.

When we were curating our shop collection, we poured a lot of time and love into selecting products that aligned with our company ethos and the pillars that support our brand...

Quality and Affordability
We believe that you CAN have both without sacrificing style!

Social Responsibility
We’ve searched far and wide... as well as in our own backyard for unique items that are fair trade certified, organic and environmentally conscious, handmade and locally sourced, and proudly MADE IN CANADA!

FUN!!!!!!
Hue La La is all about good vibes, and since glitter and confetti flow through our veins, we’re always looking for products with a fun-factor... because life is too short to take too seriously! Whether you visit our bricks-and-mortar shop or online site, we always want you to feel like you’re a guest at our party! And guuuuuuurl, do we ever love to party!

A wise person once said “Pillows are like adult stuffed animals”... and some other equally wise person said “Too much is never too much”! Those two statements together pretty much sum up our love-fest with toss pillows! We have a large selection of affordable made-in-Canada designs that all come with a lush feather down insert and zipper closure. And if that wasn’t awesome enough, they’re all carbon neutral textiles with “seed to store” manufacturing practices.

Art-Werk
The art you choose for your walls tells a story about you! Think of it like an autobiographical picture book... so don’t let your art be BORING! We are thrilled to carry art prints by five talented Canadian artists, and we’re currently crushing on Janet Hill from Stratford, Ontario.

Her work is sophisticatedly whimsical, and the charming visual stories she creates are just as delicious as the curious and quirky names she gives to each piece! Here are some of our shop faves…

Earring-a-ding-ding
We love some good lobe candy, and whether you like a chic petite stud or a dangly stunner, we have a great selection of Canadian handmade goodies to choose from!

Speaking of which…

We’ve crushed HARD on Canadian brand Foxy Originals for a long time, so it’s a dream to be able to share their handmade jewelry in our shop. At the top of our current LOVE LIST is their moon phase mix-and-match earring set, because TRUTH…
