Localist at Large: Montreal edition

Mimi Hammer, a local handmade swimwear brand, has gathered an army of fans with its retro-inspired, super-high-waisted bikini bottoms. Most stores offer two options: “sporty” or “pin-up” (that’s not counting “blah and ill-fitting”), but for those who don’t recognize themselves in either, Mimi Hammer’s new cat-print piece is a great alternative. (Black ruffled halter top, $68; regular waist bottoms, $68)
