Inside Chloe and Rose's studio: their grandmother's quilting — now $54.95 CAD
Chloe and Rose, in their studio in Canada. Every bag is handsewn from start to finish.
Inside our Canadian studio — where every piece is made by hand.
It was our grandmother's quilt that taught us everything. As children, we'd sit beside her at the kitchen table and watch her pierce the fabric with her needle — a slow, precise, almost surgical gesture. She always said the same thing: a handmade piece carries the energy of the person who made it. We didn't quite understand what that meant back then. We do now.
When our grandmother passed away in 2018, she left us a small wooden box containing her needles, her threads, and her dressmaking scissors. We went weeks without being able to open it. When we finally did, it was Chloe who said out loud what we were both thinking: we can't let this die.
We wanted any woman to be able to own a handmade piece without paying $500 for it.
Hand quilting is one of the oldest textile crafts in the world — and one of the most forgotten. Across Canada, fewer than two dozen artisans still practise it with true rigour. The process demands patience, precision, and a physical connection to the material that no machine can replicate. Twelve stitches per centimetre, placed one by one, with a rounded needle.
We wanted any woman — the one who worked her whole life, the one who never treated herself — to be able to own a handmade piece without paying $500 for it. Not a luxury bag. An honest bag, quality-built, meant to last ten years and tell a story.
Our grandmother's wooden sewing box — the start of everything we do.
THE CRAFT
Four stages. Four to six hours. One piece.
The Fabric
We select every coupon ourselves — pure cotton, pre-washed before cutting to prevent shrinkage. We don't use synthetics. We never have.
200g Cotton · Canadian Suppliers
The Cut
Every pattern is traced in tailor's chalk, to the millimetre. Scraps are repurposed as lining fabric. Zero waste — a rule we've never broken since the very first piece.
Zero Waste · Individual Pattern
The Quilting
This is the longest stage: two to three hours per basket. The needle passes through all three layers — outer fabric, batting, lining — in a single motion. Twelve stitches per centimetre. That number never changes.
12 Stitches/cm · 2–3h Per Bag
The Finishing
The cotton handles are stitched by hand. The cotton label carries the piece number, written by us. Every basket is one of a kind — and fully traceable.
