Claudia Dey and Heidi Sopinka, best friends and novelists, formed Horses Atelier in 2012 with the notion of creating items based on the values they cherish in their daily lives: functionality, beauty, wildness, and endurance. The brand is known for its feminine workwear and iconic styles, as well as elegant, easy-to-wear pieces with excellent fit and feel. Every Horses piece is handmade with care and meaning in Toronto. All of our sewers are compensated fairly. Horses Atelier is committed to supporting the local economy, as well as the special skills and empowerment of individuals who create our clothing. Heidi and Claudia’s grandmothers were both great seamstresses, instilling in them an old-world attention to detail and the idea that a timeless piece may be found in both the past and the future.
