Our History
In 2005, Toronto’s Little Italy District welcomed new neighbour Ziggy’s At Home to 794 College Street.
Home furnishings may be new to the block, but the name Ziggy has a long and storied history in this space. For over 50 years, the store was home to Fass Leather Goods - owned and operated by Zelig Fass. Zelig, affectionately known as 'Ziggy', welcomed friends, family, and customers into his leather goods store - seven days a week - for a suitcase, a joke, a coffee, or maybe even a little touch of something stronger! Known as a character, Ziggy was an institution on College. Sadly, he passed away at age 90, but his legacy lives on in his granddaughter, Julie Fass and Ziggy’s At Home.
