Inspired by vintage photography within HBC’s collection, these reusable 100% unbleached natural cotton totes capture the grandeur of Hudson’s Bay stores in cities across Canada. Throughout the decades, these buildings have become landmark destinations and distinguished architectural highlights within their respective cityscapes.
Evoking Toronto's vibrant past, this tote spotlights the iconic facade of Robert Simpson's store on Queen Street after its 1908 expansion. Opened in December 1894 as Toronto's first large steel structure, it was ingeniously designed by architect Edmund Burke. Despite being consumed by fire just months after its inauguration, it was resiliently rebuilt by 1896. The bag's image intricately captures the Romanesque Revival details, from round-arched windows to the "RSC" initials etched into the glass—a testament to a storied legacy and architectural marvel.
HBC HISTORY FOUNDATION
100% of proceeds from the sale of this Heritage Tote support Hudson’s Bay Company History Foundation (HBCHF). HBCHF was established after HBC donated its corporate records and other documents to the Archives of Manitoba, and its collection of artifacts to The Manitoba Museum. The Foundation is committed to funding the continued preservation, promotion and public access to both collections in perpetuity, as well as providing support to Canada’s National History Society and other impactful historical projects. Today, HBCHF’s mandate is to advance the knowledge of and interest in HBC’s role in history, and to contribute to Canada’s narrative with accurate inclusion and representation of Indigenous cultures, knowledge, and contributions. Recognizing HBC’s role in the colonization of Canada, HBCHF works to advance reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples and communities. To learn more, visit hbcheritage.ca.
