Hoi Bo is wearable, natural beauty. Pure and simple. Soft and strong. We make everything ourselves. But it belongs to you, to wear, to use, for days, for years.

Launched in 2007, Hoi Bo was born from a desire to offer a unique balance of beauty, design, craft and functionality, and to do so with care for the materials we use and the way we work. As we released our first pieces, we knew that we wanted to create a space where people could experience Hoi Bo in its entirety. See the quality of our hand-stitching. Touch the cloth. Smell the leather. We wanted people to have an enveloping, visceral response to our approach. We opened our first mixed-use studio/retail space in Toronto’s Distillery District in 2011, and the Hoi Bo community took form.

Since then, our work and ethos continues to be embraced. Inspired by the strength and structure of workwear, our clothing and accessories are made in clearly defined shapes, out of natural fabrics: linen, organic cotton, wool, silk. Chosen to wear well and last. Every detail is considered. All handmade by us in-house. Our clothing and bags are cut, sewn and finished by our team in our Toronto studio. We design for longevity. Cloth that moves and wears with you, that softens and ages with use and the passing of time. Through our life//life program, pieces that have had a full first life find new owners, extending their story rather than ending it.

In 2023, we opened the Hoi Bo Flagship Store and Community Space in Toronto’s West End, where we continue to grow and evolve our collection and practices. Our space is a hub for fellow textile and design lovers and those who value pieces of the highest craft, made to serve for years and years to come.
