LOA Blog — lights of all

This past weekend I was in Quebec city for La Braderie de la Mode Québécoise!  I love meeting you all in person, it's such a priceless experience! I am thinking of doing a mini pop-up so that some of you Montrealers who could not make it to Quebec city can access the sale! I will keep you updated with where and when! :)

This season, I reworked one of our SS17 Best Sellers; Cover Vest! The original version was a Maxi and it was in a grey midweight canvas. This season, it's just below the knee and in a lighter and softer canvas.The Cover Vest is made from a 55% Hemp, 45% Organic Cotton Blend.

Today is the day!! Our Basics Collection is now available online!When I was thinking about what kind of styles to make for a basics collection, I kept coming back to a feeling and not necessarily items or styles.

I wanted to make clothes that could bring that into your everyday life. Basics that were soft and easy to match with anything so that it's easy to make outfits. I also wanted...
