Rachel Fortin issued from her native Chicoutimi, knew since the beginning that through the design, her “inspiration would take the most accomplished forms”. She get specialized in making clothes with fur. A material of which she feld in love, literally.

Rachel F. owes her reputation to her hats, scarves and handbags made in a completely recycled fur accented with 100% recovered leather. On this raw material, she prints unique illustrations by screen printing (technique used with stencils). Added to this aesthetic approach, a careful attention to ethical concern.

In addition to worrying about ecology, Rachel F. bet on a local and artisanal production, fur and skins are processed in her workshop, in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. Finally, the artist works with her Quebec counterparts, Eve Gravel, for whom she designs accessories.
