Design and Manufacturing

 

Design

Our clothing is inspired by designer Cynthia Bennett’s love of beautiful textiles (ps did we tell you she has a degree in textile design and costume history?). We’ve sourced recycled hemp and organic cotton blends, linen, organic cotton prints, beautiful Japanese prints,  and quilted fabric from France. We use organic fabrics where possible.

Manufacturing

All our clothing is made by hand by Cynthia in her Vancouver and Toronto studios. We make our clothing to order, which means that there is very little manufacturing waste (and no pile of unsold clothing at the end of the season). Our clothing is shipped to you directly from Cynthia’s studio.

We make high quality clothing that will last a long time. We provide free repairs for manufacturing flaws, and free patching kits.

Our suppliers

 

We prefer to work with manufacturers directly or small distributors, based in Japan, France, India and the US, if possible (however, some materials, such as hemp, are only manufactured in China). We are always looking for unique, natural and preferably organic textiles, searching in concentric circles starting close to home, and then farther away to meet our design needs.
