Who are we ?
Founded in 2002 in Shawinigan by Mario, founder and creator of opportunities, Abaka is one of the first eco-responsible clothing companies in Quebec.

When Abaka meets Abakette…

In 2010, Karine, designer & creator of changes, also from Shawinigan, joins the adventure and brings in addition to her scissors, her touch of originality combining comfort and the unique style that is the signature of the house.

Abaka is:

Eco-comfortable, in line with the movement of slow-fashion, that is to say clothes made by hand, durable, outside the vagaries of mass production. Natural fiber fabrics for both basic and stylish clothing proudly made in Shawi (made in Quebec).

Our #ecocomfortable commitment:
A greener future, it will be possible by our choices, to all. Here’s how we commit ourselves daily to eco-responsibility.. .
 
We have inaugurated a thrift department for used Abaka clothes. L’Abrakante, as we call it, is an evolving flea market, where customers can bring their used item in good condition and receive Abakash or even a discount on our more recent collections. 

The scraps of fabrics that we do not use are given to local artisans and organizations who transform them into ecological mode.

The ink we use in our printed designs and stamps on mailing boxes is recycled water-based ink.

The cardboard of our labels, our boxes, our packaging in fact, are recycled.

We make sure to use as little material as possible by staying away from plastic.
