Animation studio Polyester is excited to announce a new retail experience, Weekend Characters.
Located in Kensington Market on Augusta Avenue in Toronto, the character-obsessed team at Polyester has long desired a physical place where their team and collaborators could celebrate their true love: characters.
Open both on weekends (in person) and online (24/7), Weekend Characters is one part store, one part laboratory, and one part home to sharing the craft of animation and love of characters with a wider audience.
Since opening, the store has already been celebrated by local Toronto creatives as well as character fans around the world. As an extension of the animation studio, Weekend Characters is for everyone who believes in the power of characters. Visit in person or online at weekendcharacters.com.
