Canadian contemporary womenswear brand Nonie has made a strategy shift toward the slow-fashion movement. Beginning this fall, Nonie will operate on a seasonless basis and will use materials that are fully recyclable. Part of this relaunch includes creating fashion pieces made using the technical fabrics that founder Nina Kharey has until now only used in her medical apparel company, Folds. These textiles are recyclable and have anti-viral, anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties to protect from bacteria and viruses. For more information, visit houseofnonie.com.

Just ahead of back-to-school season comes the second collaboration between Hunter and Peppa Pig. Launching Aug. 2, the children’s collection includes waterproof Wellington boots, which are made of natural vegan rubber, a backpack, an umbrella and boot socks. The colourful print on the pieces features Peppa Pig wearing her rain gear. Hunter x Peppa Pig will be available online, at Hunter stores and at select retailers.

A new digital campaign is being launched to help amplify Indigenous voices. The Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, EntrepreNorth, Pow Wow Pitch and Raven Indigenous Capital Partners have teamed up with Facebook Canada and Shopify to launch We Thrive, a shoppable campaign that spotlights and celebrates Indigenousowned businesses. As part of the initiative, which will be live on Facebook and Instagram from Aug. 9 to 30, Indigenousowned businesses can submit their products to be featured for three weeks at no cost. The campaign features visuals by Kitchener-based artist Alanah Astehtsi Otsistohkwa (Morningstar) Jewell, a mixed French-First Nations artist and Bear Clan from Oneida Nation of the Thames. Her design features a sunflower to symbolize growth, resilience and beauty. For more information, visit facebook.com.
