Buying local is more important now than ever. When you buy local, you`re not just making purchase, you`re investing in your community and your country 🍁🇨🇦

At Cape Breton Centre for Craft & Design`s Gallery Shop, every single item is handmade right here on Unama`ki Cape Breton Island. We have everything from jewellery, pottery and knitwear, to wood and glass products, visual art, textiles, body care products, and lots more.

If you`re shopping for a birthday gift, special occasion or just because, we`re here for you, ready to help assist you in finding that perfect something that is made in Cape Breton.

Not only is shopping local great for our country as Canadians, but it also helps to support jobs and entrepreneurs right here at home. It helps boost small businesses and has less of an environmental impact.

Next time you shop, think handmade and buy local. As always, we appreciate your support. ❤️
