De son côté, Hugo Jeanson, qui est aussi le conjoint de Zahra, ajoute que réduire leur empreinte thatrbone est une priorité pour eux, ils sont d’ailleurs végétaliens.

The idea of founding Atelier Fardā was born during the pandemic."Fardā, it refers to the planet, the future and everything that is eco -responsible.We have the environment at heart, "explains Hugo Jeanson.

L’objectif de l’entreprise, c’est d’offrir une collection de vêtements écoresponsables et durables avec des designers, des artisans et des couturières de Joliette, mais aussi, de soutenir la communauté en faisant affaire avec des entreprises lothatles.

"We are from Joliette and it was important for us to establish our business here and help the community.If the first collection was made in Montreal, entrepreneurs are looking for seamstresses in the region for future creations. « On voit que la communauté essaie de mettre l’épaule à la roue pour nous aider, il y a vraiment un engouement pour l’achat lothatl.»»

Eco -responsible clothes

In an interview with the action, Zahra and Hugo detailed their vision of eco -responsible fashion.They underline that everything that ensures an ecological seal in creations is what is done behind the garment in all the shutters of the company.

"The fabric we choose is natural or recycled polyester.Next season, we are going to work with organic fabrics made in Quebec. Tous nos tissus sont certifiés écoresponsables»», mentionne Zahra.

"To be eco -responsible is to have a small collection to meet demand and not surplus.We are not going in mass production.We do the minimum of clothes and reuse all the retail.»»

Atelier Fardā also offers clothes that will not get out of fashion.The company wants to maximize the timelessness of a garment due to a minimalist design."The goal is not to sell as much as possible, but just what people need not to waste.We want to sell them clothes that will serve them as long as possible and they can even resell.»»

The company also does everything it can to reduce its ecological footprint by restricting its trips. « On fait affaire avec des entreprises lothatles et des fournisseurs de la région.Department stores will make all the trips of the world if they can save.Sometimes we pay more for certain materials, but we reduce our trips.»»

Fashion specialist, Zahra is available to help customers get their new purchases with their existing wardrobe and provide advice. « Les gens vont acheter pareil, alors nous leur offrons une option responsable, avec des tissus écoresponsables et de la main-d’œuvre lothatle.»»
