Why it belongs in ORBIS
Montreal womenswear label based at 410 Villeray Street, founded by Christine and Laurie starting with recycled-leather accessories before expanding into full clothing made locally.
Cokluch is a Montreal-based women's clothing brand founded by two friends, Christine and Laurie, who began by making recycled-leather accessories before growing into full apparel collections. The label designs and produces its clothing in Montreal, emphasizing local manufacturing, natural materials, and increasing use of fabrics also made in Montreal, positioned around sustainability and ethical, responsible fashion. In 2015 the brand extended into childrenswear with the Cokluch Mini line, for children aged two to six.
