These are the makers who work out of Mile-End studios, Jean-Talon Market stalls, and tucked-away ateliers—people who value quality, sustainability, and the kind of attention to detail that turns everyday objects into something meaningful.
And if this gift guide doesn't cut it? Check out these 20 Montreal trailblazers reshaping fashion, art, and design with sustainable practices, bold craftsmanship, and boundary-pushing creativity.
