A sneak peak behind the scenes at The Collective North

Hello, and welcome to The Collective North! I’m Emma, and alongside my husband, Liam, I grew up in Toronto with a dream: to build something meaningful that could reflect our love for this country and our community. From a young age, I was drawn to creativity and craftsmanship, and when Liam and I met, we realized that we shared the same vision. Over time, this dream took shape in the form of a handmade clothing brand—a place where we could bring our passion for quality and detail into the world, all while honoring our roots here in Canada.

Starting our own webshop has been both a challenging and rewarding journey, but it’s a true labor of love. Each piece we design and create by hand carries a piece of that love, along with our dedication to quality and sustainable practices. I personally put care into every item we craft, knowing that these pieces will become a part of your life, whether you’re heading outdoors for a crisp morning walk or out for an evening in the city. Our goal is to create clothing that’s timeless, comfortable, and reflective of the care we feel for our fellow Canadians.

The Collective North is more than just a brand to us; it’s our way of giving back to the place and people that have shaped us. Through sustainable practices, partnerships with local artisans, and a commitment to community, we hope to make a difference in Canada.

Thank you for supporting us on this journey. It’s my greatest joy to share a piece of our dream—and a piece of Canada—with you.

With gratitude,
Emma
