i've always had a soft spot for the Hudson's Bay Company.
after graduating high school i worked at the flagship store in downtown Winnipeg, which was opened in 1881 and was the first of it's kind in all of Canada. i felt very privileged to see "behind the scenes" of such a historical landmark! not to mention all of the interesting people i met along the way. one man had been selling suits there for 50 years! but i digress...
in the last few years the company has jumped back as the place to shop. they've also developed a line of HBC products ranging from travel mugs to sweaters and full-out canoes! i recently aquired a striped cardigan (on sale, obviously, as it was originally 150 dollars...) my dream is to own an HBC point blanket (SO CLASSIC!). i'm keeping my eye out! here are 5 HBC etsy finds:
stinky bear
