Origami Customs is a sustainable clothing brand.
Being an ethical and sustainable fashion brand means that we are focused on the common good of our community, at home and around the world.
We put our community members first- with all the profits going back to the employees who make the garments, as well as their gender affirming healthcare
Ethical and sustainable mean different things in different situations- and we always look for the path forward that creates the best outcome for ourselves, our community, and the planet.
What We’re Doing-
Gender and Body Affirming
We make custom clothing for people of any size, shape, age, ability, and gender expression.
Custom adjustments are FREE, to support accessibility.
We are actively producing fashion technology that supports our transgender community.
We constantly strive to remove the gender binary in how we present our products.
We promote that all bodies are absolutely beautiful, just the way they are!
sustainability
From fabric choices to hiring practices to the physical studio itself, we take into account not just the environmental impact of our actions but the ethical and social ramifications, as they are intrinsically tied.
We use hyperlocal manufacturing- everything is designed and sewn in Montreal by a small team
Fabrics are chosen for their sustainability and are often deadstock, locally milled, recycled polyester, or regenerative bamboo. We purchase local and North American materials as much as possible.
All shipments are packaged in compostable bags with minimal packaging
Ethical Labour
Employees are paid a competitive wage, much above industry standards.
All of the profits of the company go back into these wages and the comprehensive gender-affirming healthcare benefits for all staff members
We support each other as community members as well as individuals.
