Hotpot Variety
ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Hotpot Variety is a Toronto fashion label and was founded in 2021 by Jessica Papp. Hotpot Variety is metaphorically a mirror of Jess’ inner child - combining her passion of knitwear and crochet with vibrant colours and versatile patterns, creating designs for the eccentric in all of us.
Hotpot Variety represents more than just fashion; it’s a celebration of personal expression and the courage to be unapologetically yourself. The label was founded in the belief that true style is about embracing your uniqueness and standing tall in your authenticity.
With each hand-made garment that is created, Hotpot Variety aims to ignite conversations around slow fashion while empowering the end user to also feel one-of-a-kind.

Main Character Moments
In the journey of self-discovery, we all dream of becoming the protagonist we’ve always aspired to be. "Main Character Moments" celebrates this transformation through fashion, inspired by iconic characters of our teenage years who shaped our dreams. This collection honours the essence of becoming who you've always wanted to be, with handmade garments reflecting the timeless spirit of defining films and shows from our youth. Crafted with crochet, knit, and hand-sewn techniques, each piece transforms classic silhouettes into narratives of empowerment. With 8-10 looks, the collection bridges fantasy and reality, inviting you to embrace the main character within you.
