Our Retail Partners
NOW OPEN!
Welcome to 3039 Dundas Street West, the new home of She Sells Sanctuary – A Socially Ethical Boutique!

We are a new friendly Junction Boutique featuring a finely

elevate your personal and home decor. We also directly support Canadian
designers and fair-trade artisans worldwide.
WHO WE ARE - Shelley Snow and Sylvia Price
This is the story of two friends with a mutual love of travel, good food, hand crafted art and a desire to do our part to try and support highly gifted artisans overseas.
Founders Sylvia Biro (Talis Jewelry) and Shelley Snow (She Sells Sanctuary Socially Ethical Himalayan
Handicrafts) are both ethical-fair trade sellers who have been a staple part of local GTA artisan markets for well over a decade. Both of us travel overseas
every year to directly source our hand-crafted wares primarily from Southeast Asia - Thailand, Nepal, Cambodia, Vietnam, India and Loas. Our collective aim
is to support marginalized artisans living in countries without basic labor laws with an aim to give women and girls an opportunity to earn a fair living wage
so they can support their families with dignity and pride. This also allows for ancient techniques of craftmanship (silver smithing, weaving, and felt making)
to continue to be passed down to the new generation keeping these traditions alive and thriving in the modern area.
