Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Statement
Our Commitment to Empowerment, Inclusion & Sustainability
Women-Owned & Operated: Helene Clarkson is proudly women-owned and operated. We celebrate and empower women at every level of our business – from our founder and team to our amazing customers. Our brand was built to uplift women, championing confidence, creativity, and strength in everything we do.
Inclusive Sizing: Fashion should embrace all women. That’s why our designs are available in inclusive sizing from XS through 1X. We believe style has no size limit – every woman deserves to feel confident and beautiful in clothes that fit perfectly. By offering a broad range of sizes, we ensure our collection is accessible to a diverse community of women, so everyone can share in the joy of looking and feeling their best.
Locally Made in Small Batches: We are committed to sustainability through local, small-batch manufacturing. Every Helene Clarkson garment is designed and made in Toronto, Canada. By producing locally in small batches, we reduce waste, lower our carbon footprint, and support skilled local artisans. This slow-fashion approach means each piece is crafted with care and quality, honouring both the environment and the community we call home.
Ethical Production Practices: Doing the right thing is at the heart of our brand. We ensure all our production is ethical – our talented sewers work in safe, respectful conditions and earn a living wage for their craftsmanship. We deeply value the people who bring our designs to life. When you wear Helene Clarkson, you can feel good knowing each stitch was made with integrity, respect, and fairness towards the people behind the product.
Caring for Our Team: Our commitment to empowerment and equity extends to our entire team. Every employee is treated with respect, provided fair benefits, and supported in a positive work environment. We know that when our employees are cared for and empowered, they in turn create better products and experiences for you. We’re building a culture where everyone – from our staff to our customers – feels valued and included.
Fashion with Purpose: At Helene Clarkson, we weave empowerment, inclusivity, and sustainability into every stitch. Our mission is to create fashion that not only makes you look fabulous and feel confident, but also makes a positive impact on our community and our planet. When you choose Helene Clarkson, you join us in celebrating women, embracing diversity, and protecting the environment. Together, we’re proving that style can be both beautiful and responsible – fashion that looks good, feels good, and does good.
