From The Mouths of Women

From The Mouths of Women

October is dedicated to Women’s History Month, and we are taking the time to celebrate the women that came before us. We recognize the women around us and the women we are today, and we look forward to the generations of women that follow. 

We used this month to reflect on ourselves, and our brand. Paper Label is a women-owned, women-created, and women led company. Which means wine during happy hour team meetings, and an office-wide email when Pantone created a colour for menstruation: Period Blood. Working in a women-led company leads to discussions surrounding our first relationships, if we should be taking collagen, and how we parent our children. At Paper Label, we get to engage in a workplace where women’s most common personality traits (empathy, communication, organization) are highlighted, appreciated, and used as our superpower.  

Our Paper Label collections are dedicated to and made for women. We fit all our pieces to models of diverse sizes to ensure the fit works for a wide range of body types. We understand each woman and the way she lives her life is unique, so we create all our pieces with that in the forefront of our design process. We want women to feel comfortable and look great, or as we like to say, feel comfort without compromise. 

When Paper Label began, it was created to provide women loungewear that they could wear anywhere. It was to ensure women felt comfortable in any situation they found themselves in. Paper Label was further inspired by the opportunity to give back, and the opportunity to create ethically conscious clothing. We are proud to say that the passions that ignited Paper Label as a brand are still the ribbon tying it (and us) all together.  

 In honour of Women’s History Month, we have decided to put together our favourite fashion quotes spoken by women. Some quotes made us say “omg yes”, others made us laugh, and others drew attention to the wonderful relationship women have, and will always have, with fashion.
