Our Story
Ontario Handmade began as a backyard passion project and quickly evolved into a community-driven studio nestled on Queen Street West. Every stitch is guided by our commitment to fair wages, zero-waste cutting, and fabrics that honour the Earth. From sourcing organic cotton grown in the Prairies to collaborating with local wool co-operatives, we ensure each garment carries the warmth of Canadian craftsmanship.
Our artisans blend traditional techniques with modern pattern software to create silhouettes that move with you. When you choose Ontario Handmade, you support a supply chain that spans no further than 150 km and an ethos that will never go out of style.

Our Craftsmanship
Design Sketching
Inspired by the rugged shield lakes and hardwood forests, our sketches translate Canadian landscapes into wearable art.
Material Selection
We vet every fabric for organic certification, durability, and softness—only 8% of samples make the cut.
Hand Cutting & Sewing
Artisans cut patterns with surgical precision, reducing off-cuts by 27 % compared to industry averages.
Natural Dye Process
Indigo leaves, marigold petals, and onion skins give each piece a hue that is uniquely its own.
Quality Inspection
Every seam passes a triple-check for stitch density, seam strength, and final fit before receiving our wax-sealed tag.
