Finding high-quality clothing and toys for young ones is not always an easy task. As Laura Haiges was raising her three girls, she found this to be all too true. After having little success with mass-produced clothing and cheap materials, Laura started looking into the possibility of opening up her own place where well-crafted goods and products would be available for the general public. In May 2006, Laura opened BellaBoo—a curated shop of clothing, shoes, toys, car seats, strollers, carriers, and more. Stop by their Queen Street location to shop their full collection!
