We love that Strathcona is not in any way, fast fashion, and that they are very thoroughly slow fashion. Strathcona’s strength is creativity and quality, not pace.
Strathcona specializes in fine printed socks, objects and leisure wear. The brand is recognized for its unique and varied patterns — original works — painted, collaged, photographed or drawn by founder/artist Ryley O'Byrne.
Strathcona Stockings originally launched in 2010. Ryley's concept of fashion, asserts that it should be functional but not self-serious, ideally existing as a form of expression, art, play, and fantasy.
Ryley works from abroad and at her studio on the traditional and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples in Roberts Creek / Vancouver.
All Strathcona’s garments are designed and made in Canada. The collection further establishes Strathcona's commitment to comfort and quality, as well as ethical practices within fashion and beyond.
Strathcona is honoured to have been featured on Vogue.com, Another Magazine's Stuff We Love, StyleBubble, Vogue Italia, Vogue Australia, New York Magazine, W Magazine, Elle Mexico, Bullett Magazine, Dossier, Harpers Bazzar, Elle UK, Cool Hunting, Nylon Magazine, Fashion Magazine, among other notable magazines and blogs. We are proud to be among select boutiques that represent this gorgeous collection.
