Downtown North Bay has quite a few treasures when it comes to fashion. That makes it the place to be when shopping.
The F.A.R.M.. Treehouse, Splurge and London Underground are just a few clothing stores in downtown North Bay. It’s important that we support our local designers, not to mention the unique things you can’t find at chain stores.
These stores carry things like clothing, jewellery, housewares, stationary, cosmetics and accessories.
“F.A.R.M. has grown so much. At first we thought we would just do clothing and jewellery,” says Katie Bevan, who is behind F.A.R.M and the brand Elliot’s Closet.
The F.A.R.M will be turning five years old this fall, on September 27th. F.A.R.M carries many local and Canadian designers like Amy Steele, Liz Lott, Niche, Fehrn and Salvage Jewelry Co.
“Everything is Canadian. A lot of the things we sell are locally made,” says Bevan.
Downtown fashion has many hidden treasures that anyone in the area should check out.
If you haven’t already checked out North Bay’s local fashion, you should. It’s a chance to find something you love while supporting local designers and getting something locally made. If you haven’t seen any of North Bay’s fashion, you really should, because of the one of a kind things you’ll find.
