It was inevitable that Sheila Wong Cuyugan would start September Archive®. With 20+ years of experience in the apparel industry, she believed early on that a fundamental shift had to happen in how consumers buy clothing and how companies approach the design process. Fast fashion cannot be the future if we want a future.

“I think we are at an interesting point in time where consumers are expecting more out of their apparel and the next generation of companies feel the need or at least the pressure to be more responsible with their influence”.

September Archive® is our interpretation of how-to best balance creating meaningful designs while minimizing our environmental impact as a responsible business. Our interpretation will evolve as we continue to educate ourselves. We hope this is a shared journey to do better as humans.

Through Sheila Wong Studios, Sheila created an inspiring space for a creative community in downtown Vancouver for over 14 years. Here she spent her time refining her skills as an educator and designer.

"My clients were teaching me just as much as I was educating them. I had the ability to work successfully with a variety of beautiful body shapes, understand deeper our emotional connection to clothing, and experiment with drafting and constructing design elements I could have never imagined".

WHY SEPTEMBER ARCHIVE?

The name September Archive® has a direct meaning for us. The month of SEPTEMBER represents the beginning of autumn. It is a beautiful time to embrace a strong shift in our environment, reflected in more style and layers. Many of our designs originate from our ARCHIVE of patterns drafted over the years.
