PRODUCTION

Passionate by design. Compassionate by creation.

Where's all of this nice stuff made?

WE'RE SO GLAD YOU ASKED

Our garments are produced in Romania at a highly-specialized, skilled, and modern studio called Atelier Bordelle Productions. ABP's values have a great deal of overlap with ours, which is why we chose to work with them.

They pay their staff a fixed, living wage, prioritize the well-being of their staff and machinists, and invest long-term in their employees. They don't have daily quotas, instead prioritizing employee well-being and quality of work.

Their state-of-the-art studio is full of energy-efficient machinery and they invest continuously in sustainability. To hear it from them, click here.

FROM OUR FOUNDER

In school, we were taught that you had to draft, cut, and sew as quickly as possible or risk being replaced. I didn't know that 'factories' like this could exist, ones that invest in and prioritize their employees' well-being while still working efficiently.

It excites me that not only do they exist, but also that my brand gets to work with them.

OUR TORONTO STUDIO

THE DRAWING BOARD

We draft and sew our initial samples in-house in our private Toronto, Canada studio, as well as design all collections and do all of our own sourcing of materials, from elastics down to our cute little embroidered dust bags.

During the design process, the studio is full of lace and excitement as we create pairings and test silhouettes. We often pin on the dress forms in the studio, cut fabric scraps into pretty shapes, and finally, we arrive to a final design to show you.
