Labour of Love is lit­er­ally a labour of love, the prod­uct of many years of retail expe­ri­ence in the hus­tle and bus­tle of down­town Toronto. (You can also visit our sis­ter shop Pro­pa­ganda at 686 Yonge Street.)

The shop first opened its doors in July 2010 and has been sell­ing eclec­tic, funky and charm­ing gifts ever since.

In Store

We focus on Cana­dian tal­ent and host instal­la­tions fea­tur­ing local artists fre­quently. Since we take no com­mis­sion from these exhibits, we are able to make won­der­ful art­work avail­able to the pub­lic at fair prices! Stay tuned to this blog for news and updates.

Inside our sleek show­cases you’ll find fine, hand-crafted jew­ellery from across Canada, such as ster­ling sil­ver pieces from Montreal’s Elaine Ho and Mimi & Marge from Van­cou­ver. We also focus on antique and vintage-inspired col­lec­tions from Toodle­bunny, Frug and Biko. Cos­tume jew­ellery from Har­riet Grey and Miz­drag­on­fly make bold state­ments, while design­ers Holly Yashi, Sil­ver Sea­sons and Arti­san Impact cre­ate ele­gant works of wear­able art from pre­cious met­als and stones.

Look­ing for a fun gift? Look no fur­ther! We carry a wide range — from cute to crude and every­thing in between.
