Em & May is a Montreal-based clothing brand focused on handmade swimwear, lingerie, lounge, pyjamas, and ready-to-wear. Its sustainability approach centres on a made-to-order business model, which is used to avoid overproduction and reduce waste. The brand says it sources deadstock, organic, recycled, and Canadian-made fabrics, uses Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified or repurposed hardware, and ships in recycled packaging. Production, design, marketing, and shipping are carried out in its Mile End studio, with an emphasis on ethical production, transparency, and inclusive sizing based on real measurements.

Em & May Sustainability Actions

Made-to-order production

Em & May operates on a made-to-order business model. This way, we can stay sustainable, making pieces only as they’re needed.

Uses deadstock fabrics

We source deadstock fabric to reduce industry waste. Our deadstock fabrics are typically available in limited quantities, adding a unique, one-of-a-kind quality to each piece.

Handmade in Montreal

Every piece is handmade in our Mile End studio in Montreal. From designing to production, marketing, and shipping, everything happens in our Mile End studio.

Recycled packaging

Even our packaging is 100% recycled. Our hang tags and shopping bags are made from recycled paper, shipping boxes from recycled paper, mailers using 100% recycled materials, and our tape is printed on natural gummed kraft paper.

Custom sizing system

I created my own size chart—starting with 15 top sizes based on real measurements (now 27!). It was a game-changer, and it opened up the world of custom sizing.
