Operating in synergy with environmental respect, Jennifer Glasgow Design creates styles that align with sustainable fashion. For 20 years, this company has built ecological expertise. "Society wasn't talking about eco-responsibility in the beginning, but it was part of my art and my business!" expresses Jennifer Glasgow, the founder of the company.
Its local production is undoubtedly a significant asset, as its clothing manufacturing is within a five-kilometer radius. Minimizing its environmental impact related to transportation, this brand takes pride in creating and designing clothes here !
In the Jennifer Glasgow boutique (formerly Général 54) located at 5145 Boulevard Saint-Laurent, a clothing return service is offered to customers in exchange for store credit. Encouraging circular economy practices, Jennifer Glasgow Design is proud to have its pieces travel from one owner to another.
To counter its losses, Jennifer organizes biannual studio sales and donates clothing to various organizations to redistribute its garments to charities.
Carefully selecting its raw materials and prioritizing natural and organic fabrics, Jennifer's garments are known for their timeless style and durability.
Over the past 5 years, the founder has noticed an expansion in the availability of textiles that meet her ecological requirements. Many improvements are yet to come, but the growing demand for these types of eco-friendly materials is fostering a more diverse textile selection offered by suppliers.
Conducting weekly discussions on ecology, Jennifer Glasgow mentions that there are always ways to be greener. According to the designer, continuous questioning and improvements are necessary to ensure the relevance of her responsible and sustainable actions.
All members of her team contribute when it comes to the company's circular economy approach! In fact, a repair service within the boutique had to be put on hold due to a lack of manpower, exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Reintroducing this service in-store is a future goal!
