Each atelier b piece has been designed by Anne-Marie and Catherine to be easy to wear and become an everyday essential. Their Montreal workshop is a veritable research and design laboratory in sustainable development, where local manufacturing, natural fibres and zero-waste production are at the forefront.
Upcoming events
Book launch: La mémoire des matériaux (The Memory of Materials) – September 4th, 2025
Through her reflections and encounters with artisans in her adopted region, Elisabeth Cardin invites us to reconnect with the land by rediscovering a taste for sustainable, local products made using traditional methods, which keep our collective heritage alive and enable us to interact with the Earth in a more conscious way.
ReMode at the SAT - September 28th, 2025
Fashion Takes Action launched ReMode in Toronto in 2023. For the past three years, this circular fashion festival has provided a forum for activities that help reduce our collective fashion footprint. Now, ReMode is coming to Montreal, and we will be there!
"With its new circular economy project, atelier b becomes the first Canadian clothing brand to boast zero-waste production. A major achievement for the two designers and founders of the Montreal company launched in 2009."
"Anne-Marie Laflamme and Catherine Métivier can be found in a workshop-boutique steeped in history, on the ground floor of a century-old building in the Mile-End neighbourhood. Since 2009, the two friends behind the atelier b brand have been working with their team to create sustainable clothing for women, men and children."
"These are timeless pieces made to last, designed and manufactured locally. Enough to dress several generations!"
"Natural materials, timeless cuts, local manufacturing, respect for workers, inclusivity, and the use of non-professional models have been their watchwords from the outset, making them pioneers in slow fashion and eco-responsibility in Montreal and Quebec."
Best practices are in action in Quebec! Atelier b is an innovative and responsible clothing and accessories brand specialising in slow design: a sustainable and eco-friendly approach.
"Co-founders of Atelier B, Anne-Marie Laflamme and Catherine Métivier create clothing and objects that are good for the planet."
"In addition to being a clothing brand, it's also a laboratory where a lot of research is done on sustainable development."
