The Worthy Collection

By Nicole & Rose | Made in Calgary

There’s fast fashion — cheaply made to imitate runway designs and quickly produced for maximum sales, and then there’s The Worthy Collection, a collection that values sustainability and ethical practices, and is intended to make the wearer feel like their most authentic, beautiful and worthy self. Made with linen, one of the most highly sustainable fabrics, The Worthy Collection consists of three pieces: the “I AM LOVED” top, “I AM ENOUGH” pants and “I AM SEEN” coat. Pieces are locally made by staff at a local partner studio who receive a fair working wage, and are size-inclusive so they fit various body types exactly as they are. Nicole & Rose designs and fabrics are timeless and versatile (each piece can be worn together for an effortless, put-together look or separately) and every garment in The Worthy Collection is made-to-order through the website with an approximate arrival time of three to four weeks (because it’s made expressly for you).
