A new Toronto pop-up from cannabis brand Irisa is putting a spotlight on Canadian women entrepreneurs. Pretty Elevated will be at Stackt Market from August 15 to September 22, and include workshop events and a co-working lounge in addition to retail.

Looking for the coolest (and local) brands in fashion, food, art and beauty? Here are five to check out at the pop-up.

1. BirdieFit

Founded by BFFs Alexis Kennedy and Ashley Moraca in 2018, BirdieFit is a new destination for trendier pieces (think fuzzy cropped sweaters and belted rompers) that are curated to work with the wardrobe basics you already own.

4. Tonica Kombucha 

This Toronto batch-brewed kombucha is 100 percent organic, raw and filled with digestive enzymes. With natural carbonation, low sugar and eight different flavours, including turmeric lime and goji grapefruit, all we can say is: drink up.
