Growing up as a “tomboy”, I was hyper-aware that the retail industry wasn't made for me. Fashion, for many in my community, serves as a tool to express our inner selves. We'd scour the women's section for less girly items or hunt down men's clothes with the right look but not the fit. With a background in product design and manufacturing, we saw firsthand the industry's lack of options for individuals like us.
Driven by this realization, we launched Peau de Loup with a mission to rewrite the narrative of traditional menswear. Inspired by our experiences and fueled by a desire for inclusivity, we sought to create a brand that catered to those living outside the binary. Drawing on our expertise and vision, we curate products that blended elements of tailoring, workwear, military, and street style.
But it wasn't just about creating stylish garments – it was about revolutionizing the fit and sizing system. Traditional clothing, bound by a binary fit model, presented limited and ill-fitting choices for individuals like us. To address this void, we embarked on a journey of collecting fabric remnants from large factories and mills, paving the way for a unique fit system that embraced a diverse range of non-binary and female bodies.
