Quand la politique fait fuir les femmes
At a time when women's rights are under threat and masculinist discourse is being popularised by an unapologetic right wing, this essay examines the reasons why women leave politics. How can we ensure that they stay, thrive and occupy positions of importance – so that they can finally be truly involved in achieving gender equality?
"Visiblement, les femmes quittent la vie politique parce qu’elles ne se contentent plus seulement d’être là. Maintenant que des plafonds de verre ont été brisés, et les éclats ramassés, elles veulent faire une différence au sein de leur formation politique. Et souvent, c’est là que ça bloque."

about our fabrics
For the past 12 years, we've been experimenting and refining our processes to work with the best natural fibers available. We select our materials for their durability, comfort, aesthetic properties, and the conditions in which they were produced. We prioritize suppliers located near our workshop. Many of our jerseys and knits are made in Canada, while some woven fabrics come from the United States. For more specialized materials, we work with Japan and certain European countries (mainly Italy and northern countries). It is essential for us to ensure that workers' conditions are fair, and the best way to be sure is to choose countries that have a charter of individual rights that resembles ours!
delivery
Our shipments are made from our Mile End (Montreal) workshop within an average of 3 to 5 business days. In Canada, delivery is free for orders of $150 before taxes and more. The delivery rate is fixed for Quebec and Ontario: $10 and for the rest of Canada: $15. For local bike delivery in Montreal, the fee is $7 for orders under $150. By entering your shipping address, you will know if the local delivery option is available to you.
exchange policy
Exchanges are accepted within ten days of receiving the package. A return authorization must be sent to info@atelier-b.ca. Items must be unworn and the package must include your name and order number. Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility, and atelier b will cover the cost of returning the second item. A credit may be applied; no refunds.
Masks, underwear, patterns, and sale items are final sale.
made to order
If the color or size you are looking for is no longer available, do not hesitate to write to us. We have a fabric inventory at the workshop that allows us to manufacture any of our models, whether it is this one or a piece from a past collection. Simply write to us at info@atelier-b.ca with the model you are looking for so we can suggest fabrics and colors! Orders sewn at the workshop are at the regular price (if the model is on sale, the discount does not apply to a piece sewn to order). Production time can vary from 4 to 6 weeks. Items from past collections sewn to order have a 10% surcharge. We can also make alterations to the pattern, in which case there will be an additional charge depending on the situation which can vary from 10 to 20%.
