A version of our cottage sweater made in collaboration with Montloup and Marie-les-bains. Made from a French terry knit of organic cotton and Rambouillet wool, this sweater is dyed in a gradient with American madder. As we chose to dye this garment naturally, the color varies between pink and orange. Round neckline, low armhole and loose fit.
About the Montloup x atelier b collaboration
Capsule collection created following an invitation from Lila Rousselet, the founder of Montloupa Montreal-based company that creates and designs knitted fabrics in Canada. Lila wanted to showcase the most ethical and responsible fibers available. The designs are made from Foxfibre naturally colored organic cotton knits®. The cotton is sourced from Viriditas farm in California. Sally is a pioneer in the production of organic colored cotton and a global leader in sustainable agriculture. The Foxfibre® is a registered trademark she developed. The wool is sourced from Lani Estill, who owns the company Lani's Lanabased in northern California. Rambouillet wool is very similar to merino wool in its quality and softness. The vegetable dyeing is done by Marie-Eve Dion of Marie-Les-Bainslocated in Eastman, Quebec. It is an honor for us to work with these women who make our industry progress!

about atelier b
Anne-Marie and Catherine are the inseparable friends who founded the brand in 2009. Their sustainable and minimalist clothing collections are designed in their Mile End workshop-boutique, then gently manufactured in Montreal from natural fiber textiles.
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!
