Nettle's Tale Ethically made swimwear & apparel, designed for and modeled by bodies like yours. Sizes XS - 4X

Nettle's Tale began (and continues today) with a vision of creating honest, inclusive, everyday swimwear. Launched in 2014 via a wildly successful crowdfunding campaign, each swimsuit style was designed for, named after, and modeled by a different woman in owner Julia Church's life. We believe garments should work for your body, not the other way around. We believe in inclusivity, contributing to our local economy, and that there is always room for improvement. In 2019, after seeing a lack of affordable and size-inclusive garments in the Canadian slow fashion market, we launched a small collection of apparel pieces that continues to grow today. Many of our swimwear & apparel sizes are currently available in sizes XS-4X, and we are constantly working towards expanding even further.

Your new best friend, the North Beach Cardigan was designed to embody “cozy.”

Made from 55% Wool with 45% Cotton, this chunky ribbed knit will keep you warm without being itchy. We reinforced the button placket so the button holes won’t warp, and gave it a relaxed silhouette that looks good with all your favourites fits.

From snuggling up at home, to grabbing a warm apple c***r, to enjoying a walk in the snow of the season, you’ll be surprised at how many memories you’ll make in together.

The Keats skirt is our twist on a traditional pleated or kilt style skirt for back to school, work or just your fall wardrobe. The waist is adjustable and the skirt is patterned to be not too short and fit many different sizes and shapes from XS to 4X. Available in black, espresso brown and a lovely olive oil plaid, this skirt is sure to be as versatile in your closet as a pair of trousers. No seriously it goes with everything!

A quick talking head to talk tariffs! 

The proposed 50% tariffs on Canadian made goods is going to affect businesses differently, but for us it thankfully won’t change much! 

At this time, only two styles will be affected: the Strait Tee and the Cropped Big Tee. If you’re an American customer interested in either style, please place your order before August 10th so we have plenty of time to get it sent out for you. 

Otherwise, it’s business as usual! When you’re shopping online, you’re seeing a localised catalogue of items that will ship to you, no guess work needed.

If you’ve got questions, I’m happy to answer them below 💖
