Audvik
Founded
1979
Audvik has sewn winter coats in Montréal, Quebec since 1979, and builds every Audvik coat in its own workshop.
Audvik sews winter and mid-season coats in its own workshop on Chabanel Street West in Montréal, Quebec, and has designed coats in the province since 1979. Sophie Boyer runs the company as president.
Radio-Canada visited the workshop in December 2024 and found seamstress Isabel Cabral building each coat from start to finish, one person carrying a garment from cut pieces to finished shell. Montreal holds most of what is left of Canadian coat sewing, and Chabanel is where a lot of it sits.
Boyer and her mother repositioned the company around sustainable coats from 2012, and Audvik now builds its shells and insulation from recycled plastic bottles. The company does not say where that fibre comes from, so we do not either.
FOSFO is a separate line sold on the same site, and Audvik states that it is made in Asia. Nothing on this page covers FOSFO.
