about us

PURPOSE

Our love of craft and reverence for makers guide everything we do. We believe that design is more than just aesthetics; it is a way of connecting people, cultures, and histories. Through our collaborations with designers and artists around the world, we strive to develop links that connect local knowledge with global trends, creating a marketplace that reflects the richness and diversity of our world.

What we do: Canvas & Weaves is a purpose-driven business where we are motivated by much more than just profit. We are a community that celebrates the beauty of art and the importance of provenance. Our mission extends beyond our collaborations, as we aim to inspire our customers to value the stories behind the products they buy, and to make informed decisions that support creativity, ethical, and sustainable production. We celebrate the beauty of slow living and believe that it is a way of life, not just in what we wear, but in every aspect of our lives. That's why we take pride in curating not just fashion, but also art and homeware that reflect this timeless aesthetic.

Canvas & Weaves features collections from handpicked designers and artists, whose work tells stories of timeless beauty and skill. Find fair trade and slow-made products for your home and closet as we combine sustainability, quality and aesthetics together in a single place, bringing pure happiness and good karma to your doorstep.

It is our mission to discover the undiscovered on behalf of a community seeking a fresh take on design and its consumption. The guiding principle is ‘quality over quantity' with a renewed focus on indigenous textiles, heritage crafts, artisanal expertise and evergreen silhouettes.

OUR MISSION

Making the switch to a sustainable way of life is not easy. But that’s where we come in. We are here to add a pop of colour to your blank canvas and help weave the missing moral fibre back into the fabric of our society in the most conscious way possible.

Fashion – Our 4 ‘I’s’

Intentional – We partner with designers/makers who create clothing that is both stylish and mindful, taking into consideration the impact on the environment and the people involved in the production process.

Inclusive – We celebrate diversity and create clothing that is accessible and flattering for people of all shapes, sizes, and abilities.

Innovative – We believe that good design is sustainable design, and we work with designers who are mindful of the journey of the product from start to finish. We partner with innovative makers who are committed to creating clothing that is transseasonal, versatile, and has minimal environmental impact.

Indigenous – At Canvas and Weaves, we are passionate about Indigenous fashion and believe in celebrating and preserving the cultural heritage of Indigenous textiles and crafts. The brands we partner with source heritage textiles and work with artisnal communities and reinterpret them in a modern manner, so that the art is celebrated widely and can be worn every day.

art

At Canvas and Weaves, we are passionate about art and the stories behind it. We curate pieces from artists all over the world, each with their own unique perspective and voice. We believe that art is an essential part of life, and we're committed to making it accessible to everyone. Gone are the days when art was considered a privilege for the wealthy or had to have a resale value. We believe that art is a necessity for everyone, and we're proud to be part of a changing art scene that is more open and inclusive than ever before. Our goal is to connect people with art that speaks to them, and to help build a community that values creativity, self-expression, and the power of art to inspire and uplift us all.

home

We believe that home is a sanctuary of comfort and peace. We carefully curate our homeware to evoke a sense of calm and serenity, with pieces made by skilled hands that have poured their love and dedication into every detail. Our ceramics, cozy bed linen, and other curated products are imbued with timeless charm and a touch of nostalgia that tells a story, reminding us of the simple pleasures of life. Whether you're lounging alone or hosting friends like family, our homeware is designed to foster a sense of togetherness and warmth. We celebrate the beauty of slow living and believe that it is a way of life, not just in what we wear, but in every aspect of our lives. At Canvas and Weaves, we believe that your home should be a reflection of your soul, and we are honored to be part of that journey.
