Uncompromising Quality
We stand out in the fashion industry for our unwavering commitment to quality, sourcing only the finest raw materials and maintaining rigorous standards throughout our manufacturing process.
We select our fabrics from high-end mills in Italy and Japan, where generations of knowledge and craftsmanship are woven into every thread. We invest in premium European zippers and ensure that each garment adheres to high specifications, such as a higher stitch per inch ratio, which significantly enhances the durability and appearance of our clothing.
Design at Judith & Charles is meticulous, with each style undergoing months of development plus three to four fittings to ensure perfect fit and comfort. This attention to detail extends to our manufacturing tolerance, which is half an inch compared to the standard .78 inch in the industry, allowing for precision that few can match. This combination of select materials, expert suppliers, and precision in design and manufacturing ensures that we deliver exceptional, reliable, and luxurious fashion.

We find particular inspiration in Paris: the contemporary culture, the art, and the effortless style of Parisian women. Yet the vast majority of our collection is manufactured here in Canada, where we maintain the strictest standards of quality and sustainability. Like a traditional fashion house, our atelier and entire team is on-site, keeping operations close to home. This is how we’ve operated for 33 years, and it’s how we’ll continue to uphold our legacy as we grow.
