“Hey Jute” – A uniquely titled accessory company located in Mt Albert Ontario (about an hour north of the city) that designs and creates durable, useful and rather attractive products in an otherwise bland and synthetic market. Using an eco-friendly plant fibre called Jute (instead of your typical combination of synthetic fibres, plastics, and non-recyclables), Hey Jute manufactures products such as school binders, Ipod cases, belts, purses, wine and tote bags, ties, pillows, guitar straps and yoga mats.
