We’re Cat and Sara. We married in 2016 in Portland, OR and two months later we took a mini-moon if you will up to Vancouver B.C. that winter. After making the last flight out in a dramatic fashion due to a looming winter storm, then being questioned at the border for suspicion that we were fleeing the U.S. due to the recent election, and our recent nuptials, we carried on enjoying the winter cityscape. We found a drag show near our hotel to check out and made our way over amongst the bundled Canadians. We sat at the bar and in no time we felt someone behind us proclaim, "Who are you toque babes?!" We were both in fact wearing beanies, or as our friends to the North say, Toques. Ever since then beanies/toques have been a staple in our fall and winter apparel line-up. So we decide to make a brand out of it. And here we are! 

It is important to us to not just have a merch-brand where we slap logos on stuff from overseas, so we’ve made it a point to work with a US based knitting mill. Toques are packed in recycle-able materials with as little marketing materials as possible. Because in the end, that stuff just ends up in the bin.
