about us

ethical. sustainable. organic. welcome to body politic!

Sustainable design, limitless style. It’s about choice, not sacrifice. Independent designers from Vancouver to New York are showcased at body politic. Our choices mean that you will find exceptional designs with an urban aesthetic, produced in North America, and created from the best natural and sustainable fabrics. Discover what the new “fashion-forward” means: sustainable design, limitless style!


what we do

At body politic we began with the belief that sustainable and eco-friendly clothing didn’t mean sacrificing style. The goal was to fuel our absolute love of fashion and distinct style without compromising our environment, our community, or ourselves!

By seeking out the best sustainable designers from across Canada and the United States, body politic became, and continues to be, the go-to place for those who seek fashion-forward yet timeless pieces. 

Designers are chosen, not only for their aesthetic, but also for their commitment to source the finest natural and sustainable fabrics, and support of local manufacturing within North America.

who we are

In December 2008 body politic opened in Vancouver’s vibrant South Main district. The tucked-away boutique was quickly embraced, becoming a popular destination, and dispelled completely the notion of eco-fashion as a combination of shapeless silhouettes and uninspiring fabrics.

We stand by the motto of body politic, “sustainable design - limitless style,” as we continue to support the talented designers who have been ahead of the fashion curve in creating beautiful, interesting, and sustainable collections.
