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.

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%.
