About Bodybag by Jude

Bodybag by Jude is a slow fashion womenswear label founded in 1998. Its clothes are designed and sewn in Montréal and sold at a workshop boutique on Bernard, where the making happens close to the shop floor.

It suits women who want versatile pieces built to last rather than trends that fade in a season. Visiting the boutique lets you see the work behind the clothes, and a stroll along Bernard in Mile End makes it a pleasant outing. With more than 25 years on the island of Montreal, it is a steady name in local design.
