about our products
Apparel:
Our sweat sets are made in Canada! Made in small batches in Toronto and then silk screened by hand in Ottawa. The whole process for creating a set takes 4 weeks. Made with love and a luxury 450 gsm 100% cotton for a cozy, warm, and oversized look made to last forever.
Elana creates her designs and cuts a stencil on vinyl using a silhouette cameo 4 machine. Then, carefully putting it on a silk screen and pressing permanent fabric ink onto the apparel and totes. After drying for 48 hours, she heat presses them to lock in the design.
Ceramics:
Ceramics (mugs, plates, jewelry trays, vases) are handmade with love by Elana in Ottawa using the handbuilding pottery technique. The whole process for creating a piece takes 4+ weeks.
After creating the shape, the clay dries for a week, then goes into the kiln for a bisque firing for 10 hours. Then, hand painted and glazed, and back into the kiln for a 12 hour firing.
