Lot8 - Toronto - Viking Recycling

Lot8 is a company dedicated to making functional, natural and sustainable products that reduce its reliance on single-use plastic.

"Named as a nod to the past, Lot8 pays homage to a 1910 survey map of Kim's beloved Junction neighbourhood in Toronto."

Kim, the founder and sole employee of Lot8, embarked on a remarkable journey that began with a linen bread bag. Her journey is fuelled by a deep desire to honour her late mother’s legacy, intertwined with a determination to master the art of sewing; a skill she initially knew nothing about.

 

With unwavering dedication, Kim honed her craft and began creating simple yet purposeful items to enhance her living space. What started as a personal endeavour eventually flourished into something greater, as Kim’s creations found their way into local markets, boutique shops, and now the vast realm of online commerce.

 

Lot8’s diverse range of offerings includes aprons, tea towels, cloth napkins, eye pillows, totes, and an array of upcycled marvels such as natural cat toys, bunting flags, and eyeglass cases.Since relocating to the serene landscapes of Stratford, Ontario, Kim found herself surrounded by the tranquil beauty of farm country. This shift in scenery brought about a renewed clarity to her mission – a mission rooted in creating durable, natural, and utilitarian products that encourage a culture of reusability while minimizing the generation of fabric waste.

 

With every stitch, Kim leaves an indelible mark on the world, one that speaks of her dedication to sustainability and responsible consumerismWhat sets Lot8 apart is not just the products themselves but also the meaningful impact the brand strives to make.

 

With each purchase, a portion of the proceeds is channelled towards supporting The United Way Perth Huron, an organization dedicated to addressing ‘pressing’ and “un-ignorable” societal issues. 

By choosing Lot8, you’re not only embracing conscientious shopping but also contributing to the betterment of communities.
