There's nothing I love more than supporting other women-owned small businesses. Not just because it feels good, but because so many of these brands are built with the kind of care, creativity, and intention you can feel in the product. Whether you're shopping for yourself, or looking for a thoughtful gift, these nine businesses are the perfect place to start.
The Laced Shoe
Founded by Esther Regina
The Laced Shoe is a boutique offering premium European-style footwear for women and children. Esther created her shop with the belief that shoe shopping should feel enjoyable, personal, and fun - and every pair reflects that. At The Laced Shoe, comfort meets style, helping every customer find shoes they love to wear for everyday moments, special occasions, and every little adventure in between.
Mamelina White Bow Embroidery Lace Up Sneaker
I am obsessed with this sneaker! It's a classic white leather lace-up with the sweetest bow embroidery detail, making it feel polished but still playful. I love that it has that easy, everyday sneaker look, but with a little extra personality - the kind of detail that makes people ask, "Where did you get those?" It's such a beautiful find if you love pieces that feel classic without being boring.
Shop This Product →Shade Tree Naturals
Founded by Tara Scheel
Tara built Shade Tree Naturals around a simple philosophy: products made for a healthy, natural lifestyle without compromising on quality or ingredients. Everything is made in small batches with natural oils, butters, and additives straight from nature. She also prioritizes recycled and reusable packaging wherever possible, creating beautiful essential oil blends, soaps, and home products that feel thoughtful, practical, and easy to love.
Balm for Working Hands
This is the kind of product you don't realize you need until you use it once and suddenly want one in every room. It's made for dry, cracked, hard-working hands with nourishing oils, butters, and herbal extracts like calendula, arnica, and comfrey. It's unscented, easy to toss in your bag, and perfect for keeping by the sink, at your desk, or anywhere your hands need a little extra love.
Shop This Product →Jenna Bricher Swim
Founded by Jenna Bee
Jenna started her swimwear brand after growing frustrated by a fitting room experience that many women know well - tops in larger cup sizes that offered no style, or no support, never both. So she built Jenna Bricher Swim to change that! Every top is handmade from recycled Italian fabric, with cup sizes ranging from C to I and bottoms from 2 to 24. Every detail feels intentional, from the supportive fit to the beautiful design, proving that full-bust swimwear can be comfortable, flattering, and actually cute.
Arah Bikini Top
I love the look of this bikini top! Designed for full-bust women, the Arah has a plunging neckline, adjustable straps, and a lace-up back so you can customize the fit without sacrificing style. It's made with two layers of fabric that lift and support without feeling stiff, and every detail feels intentional - flattering, comfortable, and super cute!
Shop This Product →Tasty Tin
Founded by Thembi Johnson
Tasty Tin was built around a simple philosophy: simple food, good flavour, no mystery ingredients. Thembi created her seasoning blends to make healthy meals feel easier, tastier, and a lot less boring! Her blends are made for the meals you care about serving, from quick weeknight dinners to weekend hosting!
Garlic Dust Shaker
Thembi's bestselling Garlic Dust is a blend of granulated garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, celery salt, and a hint of cayenne, all in a sleek glass shaker with a bamboo lid that looks as good on the counter as it is in practice. It works on everything - scrambled eggs, avocado toast, grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, steak, seafood, you name it!
Shop This Product →Apothecuryous
Founded by Tatiana Lynn Boland
Built on a love of simple, recognizable ingredients, Apothecuryous offers face, body, and hair care for conscious beauty lovers. Tatiana founded the brand after years of learning to read food and body care labels with the same mindset: if you can't recognize the ingredient, it's worth questioning. Today, her products are made with certified organic carrier oils, butters, herbs, and essential oils - thoughtful formulas that feel natural, intentional, and uncomplicated.
Best Lip Balm Ever
The name says it all - this lip balm was made for dry, cracked lips that need the good stuff. It's made with organic coconut oil, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, castor oil, and carnauba wax, with every ingredient chosen for a reason. For anyone who has tried every lip balm under the sun, this one is for you!
Shop This Product →b.e.happe
Founded by Brooke Happe
Brooke started crocheting during a major life shift, when she left her medical career to stay home with her three kids. What began with one slouchy hat grew into a brand that now supports women across the country, giving knitters and crocheters flexible work they can do from home. A portion of every sale also goes to child life services at children's hospitals, making each piece feel even more meaningful!
Unisex Winter Hat -- Cuffed or Slouched Knit Beanie
Made from a pattern Brooke designed herself, this ribbed knit beanie gives you two looks in one - wear it cuffed for a classic fit, or unfold it into a relaxed slouch. It's made from 100% natural wool, so it's warm without being heavy, breathable, and made to last beyond one season.
Shop This Product →Year After Year
Founded by Dana Longland
Based in Wasaga Beach, Ontario, Year After Year makes small-batch bamboo clothing for kids with comfort, quality, and longevity in mind. Dana's oversized fits are designed to last longer than standard store-bought sizing, which is such a win for growing kids and the parents shopping for them. She's also started creating upcycled pieces from vintage quilts for kids and adults, adding even more charm to her beautiful products.
Lazy Sundaes Oversized Bamboo Sweatshirt
Made in Canada, this oversized bamboo cotton French terry sweatshirt is soft, breathable, and designed to last longer than standard sizing. The super cute vintage-inspired graphic is printed directly into the fabric, so there's no peeling or fading - just an easy, cozy piece your little one can wear on repeat.
Shop This Product →Cradle Comforts Co.
Founded by Lindsay Hill
Lindsay created Cradle Comforts Co. to answer a question every new parent eventually asks: why is it so hard to find baby bedding that's soft, safe, beautiful, and sustainable all at once? Her shop offers organic cotton and bamboo crib sheets, hooded towels, and nursery essentials that check every box!
100% Organic Cotton Gauze Muslin Crib Sheet
Made from pure organic cotton woven into a soft, lightweight muslin gauze, this sheet is breathable enough for summer and cozy enough for winter - and it softens with every single wash. It's free from harmful chemicals, dyes, and additives, meets CPSC safety standards, and fits standard crib mattresses snugly with elastic all around. Lindsay even backs every sheet with a one-year warranty against tears and rips!
