Lately, there’s been a lot of talk about tariffs and import fees making things more expensive. But here at Le Prix, we’re not sweating it because we’ve always been about supporting Canadian and local brands. While big retailers scramble to adjust prices and consumers brace for higher costs, we’re over here business as usual, thanks to our commitment to shopping sustainably and locally.
What’s the Deal With Tariffs?
Tariffs are extra taxes added to imported goods, making them more expensive for businesses and, ultimately, for shoppers. When major retailers rely on overseas manufacturing, these costs get passed down to customers. But here’s the thing: when you shop local, you skip the import fees, the overseas shipping, and the uncertainty that comes with it.
Why Shopping Local Makes a Difference
At Le Prix, we’ve always believed in curating fashion and goods from Canadian brands, sustainable businesses, and second-hand finds. That means:
✅ No surprise tariff hikes affecting our pricing.
✅ Supporting local makers and small businesses who keep our economy thriving.
✅ A lower carbon footprint—because buying locally reduces the environmental impact of global shipping.
✅ Higher-quality, more ethical choices that align with our values.
How You Can Be Tariff-Proof Too
Want to shop smarter and avoid unexpected costs? Here’s how you can keep your wardrobe and lifestyle tariff-free and sustainable:
- Choose Canadian and local brands whenever possible.
- Shop second-hand and vintage—because timeless pieces don’t come with hidden fees.
- Support businesses that prioritize sustainability over fast fashion trends.
- Think quality over quantity—invest in pieces that last.
