About Ça va de soi

Ça va de soi is a family knitwear house making sweaters and cardigans in merino and cashmere since 1972. Its pieces focus on soft natural fibres and classic shapes.

It suits anyone building a winter wardrobe that will last for years, and people who prefer quality over quantity. A good merino layer is a smart answer to Quebec's cold, from the commute to the cottage. A cashmere sweater also makes a generous holiday or anniversary gift. A Montreal family business for more than 50 years, it is a steady name in local fashion.
