History

Established in 2011.

After 26 years of working in the Hong Kong fashion industry, primarily as an assistant to a fashion designer, I came to Canada. Initially, I worked for various alteration shops before launching my own business in Dec., 2011. The space at 159 Simcoe St. S. opened in Apr., 2012, and has been growing steadily, mostly by word of mouth.

Business Owner

After high school, I did an apprenticeship in clothing design and manufacture. I worked for many years as an assistant to fashion designers. This involved translating sketches to working patterns, producing the sample, production control of the product, marketing and shipping of the product. The products ranged from sports wear, jackets and coats, dresses, pants and children’s wear. Eventually I had my own business producing samples, with matching master pattern.
