Noujica

is the collaboration of printed textile design artist Catherine Cournoyer, and glass artist Jinny Levesque. By integrating screen printing, glass work, drawing and sewing, they have created a unique line of clothing and accessories that are hand crafted in their Montreal-based studio. Together they support the local work force by ensuring any necessary outsourcing of goods and services are provided primarily by Quebec-based companies. While using only recycled and organic materials such as leather, cotton and linen, Noujica has reduced its carbon footprint, and therefore promotes responsible client awareness and consumption.

Jinny Lévesque has studied glass working at the Espace Verre.

Catherine Cournoyer has studied textile printing at Concordia University.

ABOUT OUR ORGANIC MATERIALS

Noujica uses organic fabrics from controlled environments where no chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides are used.

In addition, the fertilizers used to grow the materials are eco-friendly, while natural predators help curb the invasion of harmful insects.

The fabrics used by Noujica are hypoallergenic, biodegradable and antibacterial.
