In April 2025, me and a few friends visited Toronto for the first time. We came across an unassuming shop in the Chinatown area that embodied the idea of not judging a book by its cover.
Inside, we got to meet the owner of Better Gift Shop, @avi_gold. We talked about the story of the shop, the current state of the footwear industry, and Toronto’s best kept secrets.
This piece was made as a gift to Avi, and the shop, for the hospitality they showed to a few first timers.
