NorthBoys and Northgirls are not typical children's retail. We are a growing, niche, premium fashion retailer redefining kidswear in Canada. We operate four boutique locations across the GTA and are opening our fifth, and first large format store, at Upper Canada Mall in November 2026.
We are an authorized kids retailer for Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Emporio Armani, Psycho Bunny, Lacoste, Michael Kors, LoveShackFancy, KatiejNYC, Mayoral and more. NorthBoys is one of only three Ralph Lauren Kids retailers in Canada and the only independent Psycho Bunny Kids retailer. Northgirls is the only Canadian retailer carrying LoveShackFancy for girls.
This is not volume retail. This is consultative selling and personal styling.
Upper Canada
Mall is our largest store to date and the first to carry both banners under one roof.
