A new player has entered Canada's lifestyle media landscape with the launch of CabinLiving.ca, an online-only magazine targeting the country's massive cottage and cabin culture community. With nearly 10% of Canadian households owning recreational properties and the sector contributing $9 billion annually to the economy, this ad-free publication addresses an underserved market with premium, Canadian-focused content about cabin living, property management, and outdoor recreation.
CANADA - June 19th, 2025 - CabinLiving.ca, Canada's first dedicated online-only lifestyle magazine for cabin and cottage enthusiasts, officially launched today, offering premium, ad-free content for the estimated 2.9 million Canadian households that own recreational properties and millions more who embrace cabin culture.
Founded in 2025, the premium digital publication provides comprehensive, ad-free content specifically tailored to the unique aspects of Canadian cabin living, cottage ownership, and lake culture.
'Cabin culture represents a fundamental part of the Canadian identity, with nearly 10% of Canadian households owning recreational properties,' said Martin P., Senior Contributor at CabinLiving.ca. 'We're creating a year-round digital destination that captures the essence of Canadian cabin living – from the anticipation of opening weekend to the peaceful moments by the lake.'
A New Approach to Cabin Content
CabinLiving.ca distinguishes itself through a carefully curated mix of content that speaks to every aspect of the Canadian cottage experience. Readers will discover in-depth features exploring hidden cottage destinations and inspiring cabin architecture across the country, alongside practical guides for everything from seasonal maintenance to winterization projects. The publication also provides valuable real estate insights for those looking to buy, sell, or invest in recreational properties, while celebrating the outdoor lifestyle with coverage of fishing, hiking trails, and wilderness adventures.
What sets the magazine apart is its reader-first philosophy. Unlike traditional lifestyle publications cluttered with advertisements, CabinLiving.ca is supported exclusively by partnered content, allowing stunning photography and compelling storytelling to create an immersive reading experience that mirrors the tranquility of cabin living itself.
The publication takes pride in being authentically Canadian, with every article written by contributors who understand the nuances of regional cottage cultures – from the remote wilderness cabins of British Columbia to the iconic Muskoka cottages of Ontario and the charming coastal retreats of the Maritimes.
Serving a Thriving Market
Canadian cottage and cabin culture contributes over $9 billion annually to the national economy, yet until now, this vibrant community lacked a dedicated digital-only resource. CabinLiving.ca fills this gap by delivering expert advice on property management and investment strategies, seasonal guides that help owners maximize their cottage enjoyment year-round, and regional spotlights that celebrate unique cabin communities across the country.
The magazine also embraces modern cottage trends, offering insights on sustainable living for off-grid and eco-friendly cabins, while providing family-focused content that helps create lasting memories at the lake. Through innovative digital features like interactive cabin-themed puzzles and games, mobile-optimized design for reading anywhere, and downloadable guides for cottage owners, CabinLiving.ca brings the cabin experience into the digital age.
'We're building more than a magazine – we're creating a digital community for everyone who feels that special connection to Canadian cabin culture,' added Martin P. 'Whether you own a cottage, rent one every summer, or simply dream of lake life, CabinLiving.ca is your trusted resource.'

Pajar Inks Deal to Distribute Grendene's Footwear Collections in US and Canada
Grendene is expanding its distribution across the United States and Canada with a new partner. The Brazilian footwear company said this week that it's teaming up with Pajar as the exclusive distributor of its footwear brands – which include Ipanema, Cartago, Zaxy, Rider, Azaleia, and Copacabana – in North America. The deal also includes Grendene's Melissa brand, which will now be available through Pajar's sales network in Canada. More from WWD Inside Pajar's Bold Strategy for Cougar, Which Includes the Reintroduction of Kids' and Men's Shoes Grendene CEO Talks New Growth Strategy for Melissa, Ipanema and More Brands How Pajar Canada Is Adapting Its Old-School Values for Today's Tech-Driven World Pajar noted that this move expands its 'seasonal reach' with the addition of a significant summer business through Grendene's brands. The Canadian shoe company also said that its dedicated 12-person sales force across key markets from Hawaii to Florida will spearhead the distribution and promotion of Grendene's collections. Pajar is expected to debut the new spring/summer 2026 collections at several prominent trade shows and events this year including AFA in Toronto, Atlanta Shoe Market, Chicago Collective, FSNYE, and Surf Expo in Orlando. This move follows Pajar's October acquisition of Cougar. Based in Montreal, Pajar Canada is a fifth-generation family shoe business founded in 1963. According to the company, its acquisition of Cougar 'aligns with its vision' to expand its footprint in both the Canadian and U.S. markets and leverage its international outreach across Europe and Asia. In an interview with FN in February, Pajar president Michel Golbert spoke about the company's strategy for Cougar. 'Cougar, in the past, only sold women's in the U.S.' Golbert said. 'We're going to be introducing kids, which is a huge part of the business in Canada — probably 40 to 50 percent of the business; it's pretty sizable.' What's more, the exec confirmed at the time that Cougar will once again offer a men's collection, starting in 2026. '[Cougar] had dabbled in men's maybe 10, 15 years ago, but basically abandoned the men's division. We feel there's a big opportunity for men's as well,' Golbert said. Additionally, Golbert noted that Cougar will launch several other categories including outerwear, hosiery and bags. This new partnership between Grendene and Pajar also follows a similar deal announced last week between Havaianas owner Alpargatas S.A. and The Eastman Group to distribute the flip-flop brand in the U.S. and Canada. According to Alpargatas, the pair will work together throughout 2025 on a transition process so the new model to have it ready in time for the 2026 season. The move essentially shifts Alpargatas' operating model from direct operation to distribution. Alpargatas will remain focused on brand building, 'strengthening Havaianas brand power while focusing in portfolio assertiveness and brand competitiveness, aligned with Havaianas brand positioning and global strategy,' it said. Alpargatas said the partnership provides it with cost efficiency as it relies on a leaner local structure, In addition, it leverages the firm's presence in strategic channels via the expansion of the distribution network.

Canadian retailer Simons is having a massive sale on home goods — here's what I'm adding to my cart
Hello, fellow Canadians who love a good deal — yes, you. As someone who's just a year into homeownership, I've become mildly obsessed with browsing for furniture, decor and little upgrades to make my space feel more like home. That said, we all know how quickly the costs can add up these days — which is why I'm always on the lookout for affordable finds that don't sacrifice style or quality. One of my go-to spots is Canadian department store Simons. Right now, they're having a massive home sale, I've got my eye on so many pieces that I'm eager to share. If you're even half as into home stuff as I am, you'll want to keep scrolling. Shop Simons bedding deals Shop Simons decor deals Shop Simons kitchen deals Shop Simons bathroom deals Shop Simons furniture deals Shop Simons outdoor deals How sweet are these subtle floral hand towels? To be honest, I am biased because I already own them in blue — and I can confirm they're even cuter in person. They're the perfect size, and they come with a convenient little loop for easy hooking. If you, like me, struggle to keep a pretty plant alive, may I suggest a fake one? These pink flowers will brighten up your space for summer, and you won't have to worry about watering them. I tend to accumulate a lot of stuff (some might call it junk), but I'm not a fan of having it all out in the open. To keep things looking tidy, I've found the perfect solution: stylish storage baskets. This rectangular one has a lid for extra coverage and handles that make it easy to move around. With an elevated grooved design, this diffuser doesn't just add a calming aroma to your space — it also looks good doing it. It's easy to use and makes both a functional and trendy upgrade. You can also find some Simons essential oils on sale right now, too. I don't know about you, but I'm a sucker for tomatoes. This bowl is perfect for serving snacks or washing small fruits and veggies, thanks to the drip holes. Want to impress your guests? Whip out this acacia wood and genuine marble pepper mill! It's way fancier than your typical salt and pepper shakers. It's all about the little details, am I right? This all-season duvet has a 200 thread count and 100 per cent cotton cover. It's filled with light, fluffy recycled polyester and finished with a piped trim. The sewn-through box stitching will keep the fill evenly distributed, ensuring no clumping or shifting. Available in twin, double, queen and king sizes. If you're going for that rustic, faded look in your home, little details matter. This bamboo laundry basket totally adds to that natural vibe. It has a lid to keep things contained, and the interior fabric is machine washable. These bright 'n' cheery cocktail glasses come in a set of four, and they're perfect for summer sipping. They are made of glass and are labelled as hand-wash only. I love adding dimension with decor, and textured trays like this have been catching my eye lately. I love how this one has little feet — it's different from typical bowl-style catchalls. You can use it solely as decor or use it to hold small things like keys, jewelry or other small essentials. Another item I personally own is this half-moon bath mat, and I love it so much that I'm thinking about purchasing it in green right now. It's cushy, absorbs water effectively and looks stylish in my bathroom.

8 status symbols that last a lifetime, from Herman Miller chairs to the royal family's jacket of choice
Buy It For Life is a community on Reddit that highlights durable, high-quality products worth investing in. For some, that means splurging on expensive items known for their craftsmanship. Pricey items like Rolex watches and Le Creuset cookware can be seen as lasting investments. How much would you spend on a handmade comforter for your bed? For some, $5,000 — the price of some eiderdown bedding — is worth the splurge if it lasts a lifetime. This concept of buying something for life is a consumer movement with a thriving Reddit community of 3.1 million members. The r/BuyItForLife subreddit serves people searching for products that will outlive them, or at least that they won't have to replace for a decade or more. The subreddit says it was created to showcase "high-quality, durable, and practical products that can be bought once and used for life." High quality and durable don't always mean expensive, but Business Insider set out to find long-lasting items worth investing in. Many are pricier than the average person might pay. "Quality lasts, and when it comes to these investment pieces, you're not just buying an object, you're shaping how you live," Niki Cheng, designer and cofounder of 18th Street Design Collective, said. Here are eight items with a reputation for being symbols of wealth or good taste that have appeared in the BuyItForLife subreddit. Stylists, interior designers, and the makers themselves explained to BI why they stand the test of time. Fashion Apparel can be tricky to buy for life, stylist and content creator Timothy Chernyaev said. Trends change, people grow, and clothes endure everyday wear and tear. Quality clothing can still last a long time, though. "Generally, as a rule, you get what you pay for, and a quality item, especially clothing, should last you 10 years," style consultant Reginald Ferguson of the NY Fashion Geek told BI. Meanwhile, accessories, like a high-quality handbag, can outlive you. The highly exclusive and expensive Hermès Birkin bag, for example, can be passed down to family or sold later in life. The prototype Birkin, first worn by Jane Birkin almost 40 years ago, is coming up for auction this summer on Sotheby's. "Buy the jacket that outlives seasons, the watch that feels like an heirloom the moment you fasten it," said Nicole Pollard Bayme, stylist and founder of Lalaluxe. Here are four other fashion items known for their quality and longevity: Viberg boots - $800+ Viberg, a family-run Canadian brand that has operated since 1931, is frequently recommended in r/BuyItForLife posts asking about boots with a long shelf life. The full-grain leather boots sell for around $800 or more. Pollard Bayme says it's worth it if buyers intend to wear them "a thousand times." Loro Piana Loro Piana is a textile mill that manufactures wool, cotton, silk, and more for brands throughout the world, Ferguson said. It controls its supply chain from building relationships with cashmere farmers in Mongolia to placing a $3,500 sweater on its shelves. "A Loro Piana coat isn't expensive if it's worn a thousand times and makes you feel powerful every time you slip it on," Pollard Bayme said. Rolex - $4,000+ The Swiss-made watches are known widely for their craftsmanship, exclusivity, and materials. For some, watches are an introduction to luxury shopping. Their longevity can make them an investment more than a purchase. "A Rolex isn't just a watch — it's one of the rare luxury items that can be worn daily, handed down through generations, and still hold its value," Bob's Watches CEO Paul Altieri said. "It's not just something you own — it's something you pass on." Barbour waxed jacket - $400+ Barbour is an English family-owned brand beloved by the British royal family. Snapshots of various royals in the rainy UK throughout the brand's 130-year history are all over the internet. Its iconic Bedale and Beaufort wax jackets are made by hand in a North East London factory,Barbour's website says. Customers can have their $435 jacket re-waxed and repaired over the years to keep it in good shape. "A Barbour is certainly an investment worth owning. Strong, durable, water resistant," Ferguson said. "If it's good for the royal family, it's good for me." Barbour declined a request for comment from Business Insider. Lifestyle Unlike apparel, lifestyle products must be functional in addition to long-lasting. An office chair must endure hours of pressure and movement for years, while cookware withstands 400-degree heat. "The 'buy it once' approach isn't just about saving money over time, it's about surrounding yourself with objects that hold up and hold meaning," Isfira Jensen, interior designer and CEO of Jensen & Co. design firm, said. These four lifestyle products stand the test of time, according to interior design professionals: Herman Miller office chair - $1,800+ Herman Miller office chairs are "ergonomically flawless and visually timeless," Cheng said. To hold up during eight-hour days at your desk, Herman Miller told BI that it does extensive testing. It runs over 2,500 different tests on its furniture — "ranging from staining, cleanability, UV exposure, scratch and dent, to structural component durability" — to make sure it lasts, a spokesperson for Herman Miller said. Outside office chairs, Herman Miller produces the Eames chair and ottoman, a status symbol highly coveted by young, wealthy men in particular. Le Creuset Dutch oven - $200+ Is a Le Creuset Dutch oven worth the up to $800 price tag? For some members of the BuyItForLife subreddit, the answer is a resounding yes. "Le Creuset is definitely BIFL. I've been using my dutch oven every week to bake bread for years and it still as good as new," one user said. The cookware is crafted in France with a porcelain enamel glaze. It can also be a popular heirloom among families. "Many people find that their first Dutch oven turns into a go-to kitchen companion, eventually passed down to the next generation," Jensen said. "It's less of a splurge, and more of a lifelong relationship." Montblanc fountain pen - $200+ In a world where texting and emails are the standard for written communication, handwritten notes hold more weight. "When you write something on a handwritten letter, you don't just pass on the content, you are actually passing on meaning," Zaim Kamal, former creative director of Montblanc, told BI in 2020. Montblanc provides long-term services and restoration for its artisan-made fountain pens that retail for over $200, making them ideal family heirlooms. "A Montblanc pen is about legacy," Cheng said. "My first pen was given to me by my dad. It's not just for writing for me." Eiderdown duvet - $4,000+ Eiderdown duvets and comforters are hand-crafted covers that are made using feathers from eider ducks in subarctic and arctic regions. They're scarcer than gold, diamonds, and platinum, retailer Icelandic Down told BI. "Eiderdown is painstakingly collected from the abandoned nests of eider ducks. It takes around 50 to 70 nests to make 2.2 pounds of eiderdown — involving dozens of hours of manual labor," a spokesperson said. The duvets and comforters at Icelandic Down retail for $4,000 or more and, when treated well, can last up to 50 years, according to the company. "Great bedding is like a bespoke suit — you feel the quality every single day," Cheng said.
