Autumn has arrived and with it the cooler weather, giving us all of the cozy fall vibes and craving those familiar creature comforts that go along with the season.
With shopping looking a little bit different this holiday season, many markets have been put on pause which is exactly why the Bay Centre’s newest retailer is the perfect happy medium for all those craving that market feel, but want to experience it in a safe and COVID-19 friendly way.
Market Collective by Shi Studio is now open on level 2 of the Bay Centre, and hosts over 60 local makers, designers, artists and food producers of Canada’s handmade movement; and 50% of those are from the Island and the mainland. All are Canadian hand made!
Luckily for you, if you haven’t experienced Market Collective by Shi Studio yet, the Bay Centre is giving away a carefully curated gift pack valued at almost $100! You can check out the contest details below.
What’s Market Collective by Shi Studio all about?
Market Collective by Shi Studio looks to showcase a collection and pairing of grassroots to Canadian professional artisans and makers, and provides a space for local creators while in person markets have been cancelled.
The all-new store is a partnership between Cory Judge, Designer and Creator of Shi Studio and Katrina Dwulit, Manager of the Esquimalt Farmers Market and Vanessa Gaudet, artist and owner of Lady Dragon Glassworks.
The shop was created to help mitigate some of the extensive financial losses predicted for many of the featured artist/artisans, and the shop is a response to the need for venues for local creators to be available for holiday shopping.
They look to create a connected community space (with safety measures in place) and an in-person and tangible alternative to shopping online.
Market Collective by Shu Studio is also hosting a Grand Opening event on Saturday, October 17, where they’re giving away the chance to win one of FOUR $50 gift certificates, so make sure you stop by!
