A truly wonderful story about a local brand Jennifer sourced out last year named Moss Grey Atelier owned by Destanne Lundquist in Courtenay,BC. Destanne is a self taught seamstress, designer & true textile nerd. She is deeply committed to community, the natural world & integrity in everyday actioning. Born from the desire to build her own no-fuss wardrobe came another artistic expression & opportunity to clothe & care for others - Moss Grey. Forever exploring & curious Destanne explores a multiplicity of outlets for beauty, creativity, self-employment, empowerment and music.
Any chance she gets she is out paddling in her canoe, gardening, picnicking or wandering in the wilds looking for edible plants + listening to the bird + trees sing.
I tagged along yesterday with Jennifer as she began piecing together her spring 2027 buy from Destanne. So inspiring to see Jennifer diving right in the bolts of fabric choosing her colour story, designs, and creating with Destanne a wonderful collection for this coming spring. What a gift that rarely happens in the fashion world, not your typical buy to have such freedom of hand picking prints and patterns, opportunity to run the fabric between your fingers, and to communicate with the designer and meet your seamstress all in one visit!
All Moss Grey Atelier is designed and made right here on Vancouver Island in Courtenay, BC.
