The best new design stores of 2013 were welcomed with open arms (and wallets) this year by the art lovers, decor enthusiasts, and stuff-collectors of Toronto. Many of these newcomers opted to focus on a wide range of goods and gifts unified by a rustic-yet-modern, hand-hewn aesthetic.

Still, these shops are by no means cut from the same cloth (or molded from the same clay, or printed on the same screen). With each boasting diverse, wide selections of creations from around the city, the country, or the globe, you're bound to find the perfect piece you didn't know your life was missing.

Here are the best new design stores that opened in Toronto during 2013.
