2007 Collection

the environment has always played an extremely important role in our lives. most of us here have degrees in the environmental and conservation sciences, and we continue to spend most of our free time doing nerdy nature activities that if discussed in too much detail might lower our cool factor in the eyes of some hardened city folk! because of this passion, we work to minimize our negative impacts on the environment by using organic fabrics such as cotton and wool, or other materials such as bamboo and lyocell that can be grown without soaking the landscape in chemical residue. in every part of our manufacturing process we work to ensure that workers are treated fairly and well. we make all of our clothes in montréal, which is one way to ensure this (since workers here have recourse to canada's labour laws). also, we live close to where our clothes are being cut and sewn, and so we are able to interact with our workers regularly, allowing us to confidently assure our customers that our garments are sweatshop-free. and then there is the design: it is lovely, elegant and sexy, because we enjoy feeling beautiful and see no reason why being ethical need get in the way of that.
