Continuing the introduction of The Wandering Merchant. Why was The Wandering Merchant founded? The answer isn't very simple. In all honesty- I was having trouble maintaining regular employment due to severe depression. I am human. It happens. ... On that note. Please don't hesitate to reach out for help if you're suffering. You're not alone. Anyways - I decided I needed to make some changes and one of those changes was simply feeling and looking better physically. I've also always been very passionate about helping others and didn't like that when I worked other places - a lot of the money generated didn't stay in the local economy. So I started ordering products from all over Canada to keep it local. (Pro tip - don't constantly switch products that aren't from the same line, it wrecks your skin) and I started testing those products out. I immediately noticed I had to go natural or my skin didn't like it, at all. So into the garbage went several hundred dollars in crappy products and I kept searching. Over time I found the products you see available in my store. My friends and everyone close to me started asking "what are you wearing and how do i get it" basically, and it snowballed from there. Today I would like to introduce the creative side of things. Marketing, sales, advertising, general shenanigans.

Hi everybody! I hope you're all good and loving your items. It's been made apparent recently through a few interactions that I have failed to properly express what The Wandering Merchant is and who is behind it. So over the next week I'm going to introduce you to the whole team running operations here at The Wandering Merchant. So what is The Wandering Merchant? The Wandering Merchant is a small, Ontario based company that focuses on sourcing, testing and curating a collect...ion of premium, exclusively Canadian products. We then highlight, retail, distribute and advocate for those products and companies that pass our testing process. All products are tested personally by the founder. Today I would like to introduce the shipping/ receiving, warehouse and stock end of things. Hi there.

We know you are going to love this one. ---------------------------------- Marshmallow Fireside Warm toasted marshmallows, smoldering woods and rich vanilla cream. This was a fan favourite from our very first Fall collection last year and we are so excited to bring it back.

This cozy fragrance opens with notes of white woods, fresh air and lemon peel with just a hint of vanilla bean added to compliment. ---------------------------------- Hello There Pumpkin Could it even be Fall without pumpkin spice? Everyone's favourite scent with a blend of cinnamon, clove, vanilla and a hint of coconut. (AVAILABLE END OF SEPTEMBER DUE TO OIL BACKORDERS)
