Jingle Brim Haberdashery since 1843

Step into history at Jinglebrim Haberdashery, the oldest shop of its kind in all of Canada and a cherished cornerstone of La Sombra. Legendary for crafting the very hat that brought Frosty the Snowman to life, Jinglebrim continues its tradition of magic and craftsmanship with every hand-made top hat. Locals know the milestone of receiving a Jinglebrim hat at graduation as a rite of passage—an emblem of coming of age in the region. Visitors are welcome to browse, but for the full fitting and storytelling experience, appointments are highly recommended.

Tinsel & Treats Too

Tinsel and Treats Too is La Sombra’s sweetest stop—and the only year-round location of the beloved North Pole candy shop. Owned by the Head Candy Maker herself, Matilda Jinglebourgh, it’s a cozy, whimsical spot where the ovens never cool and the shelves are always stocked with Jingleborough candy canes. Every visitor is greeted with free samples and the scent of something warm and wonderful baking in the back. Whether you’re craving a seasonal favorite or a bite of everyday magic, this shop is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Needlewick Atelier

permanently closed

Tucked just off the main square, Needlewick Atelier was La Sombra’s most distinguished tailoring house—where every stitch told a story and every suit was made entirely by hand. Known for its unparalleled craftsmanship and near-mythical attention to detail, Needlewick served those who preferred timeless elegance over passing trends.
