original textile art
For Katrin Leblond, fashion is about making wearable art.
Every piece of clothing begins with a paintbrush. Katrin brings her passions for exuberant colours and playful patterns to her work as a textile artist. Almost every KL piece features her inspired artwork, and she often collaborates with other women artists on print designs.
made in montreal
Small, local and mindful of waste.
Those have been the driving principles of our production since inception. Many of our collections are made-to-order and most are limited editions. Almost all of our fabrics are manufactured and printed in Montreal and the remainder are carefully sourced from ethical producers around the world.
size & age inclusive
We love dressing women of all ages, sizes and shapes.
Sometimes a family of three generations will be shopping in our boutique at once! We try to reflect that diversity in the models we use to represent our clothes online. We currently offer sizes XS-XXL and will expand that range for some collections.
Katrin Leblond lives and works in Montreal, a city known for its sense of style. Montreal is a city of distinct flourishes and bold combinations, its streets filled day and night with colour, texture and movement. Katrin’s fashions are classic Montreal: they amplify, not dampen, their model’s style and personality.
Katrin began her 20-year career as a textile designer, acquiring proficiency in the most basic of elements of fashion: repeats, textures, stripes and colour. Beginning in 2004 she brought those craft-based skills and sensibilities to her own clothing collections. In 2007 she launched her own label, Katrin Leblond Design, and her own outlet, Boutique Katrin Leblond. In 2017 she started illustrating her own limited edition repeat prints.
Katrin is renowned for her artfully embellished dresses and jackets, as well as for her brilliant twists on standard cuts. Through her use of pattern and custom prints, she transforms wardrobe standards such as t-shirts, hoodies and sleeveless dresses into flawless standouts. Katrin’s collections combine discipline and detail with whimsy and vitality. Her works are inspired by trends yet outside them, and don’t go out of fashion.
Katrin is committed to ethical practice in fashion design and manufacturing. Each of Katrin’s original pieces is cut and sewn in her Montreal studio. Almost all of her materials are locally sourced, from fabrics down to thread and zipper—all produced by local workers in Montreal’s vibrant fashion sector, and requiring less fossil fuel for transport. The remainder are carefully sourced from ethical producers in Canada and around the world.
Katrin’s works prove just how dazzling ethical fashion can be.
