The great thing about Toronto fashion boutiques like Elle Hardware is that they're allowing conscious consumers to get up close and personal with their custom-made finds. Trend Hunter got the chance to chat with Elle Hardware's owner Lindsay MacMillan, Erin Tracy of Erin Tracy Designs and Dear Frankie creator and designer Allicia Martin about their strive for quality and custom-made products.
