About The Campaign:

 

We’ve heard it from you online and in our change rooms over the last five years - many of you are frustrated with the women’s clothing industry. These large corporations and major brands seem unable to make sizing and fit requests, and as a result, end up excluding the women they’re supposed to exist for. Imagine actually having a say and a vote about what clothing is being produced and put to market for women. Well, now you do!

Just like our swimwear line, we're now offering an opportunity for women to have a say in what items we make.

 

What is Kind Clothing?

We're launching a brand new line of kind clothing. Why is it kind? It's kind to the women that wear it:

  • In how it’s been designed to fit
  • The wide range of sizes available (Don't see your size? Let us know!)
  • The quality of fabrics used

It's also kind to the people that make it:

Every item is manufactured right here in Canada, in manufacturing shops we have good relationships with and visit on a regular basis. We know our shop owners and sewers.

We strive to use technically advanced fabric, that embrace new methods of creating more eco-friendly and sustainable garments for the planet, sewers and customers.

Our pieces are not only determined by our customers, they're also modelled by them. On our campaign and online shop, you’ll see women that look just like you and the women that surround you daily. The positive impact this has for the current and future generations is invaluable.

What We Need & What You Get

What we need:

We want to make clothing you want, in the sizes that you need. We're using this as a pre-order campaign, so we’ll only produce items in the colours and sizes that our customers want and need. This keeps you, us and the planet happy!

 

What you get:

Clothing that’s made for you! This is an exclusive opportunity to order these  items at prices and in bundles that will never be offered again once the line goes to market.

 

Here’s how it works (it’s easy, we promise!):

1. Choose Your Colour

2. Choose Your Size (Don't see your size? Email us)

3. Place Your Pre-Order

 

Perk #1: Strait Tee

Material: 67% Bamboo Rayon, 29% Cotton, 4% Spandex

SIZE CHART / COMMUNITY FIT GUIDE

Your new favourite everyday T-shirt has arrived. The perfect length for a french tuck (@Tanfrance), but no worries, it’s not a crop. This shirt is boxy, without looking like a box. Made from the softest blend of Rayon from Bamboo, Cotton and Spandex, this shirt washes nicely and maintains its shape no matter how well loved it becomes. My new favourite T-shirt to pair with my higher waisted, raw denim.

Perk #2: Harbour Tee

Material: 67% Bamboo Rayon, 29% Cotton, 4% Spandex

SIZE CHART / COMMUNITY FIT GUIDE

Your new favourite weekend warrior. The perfect length to wear with jeans or tights. Short enough to be a T-shirt, but long enough to cover that tush. Made from the softest blend of Rayon from Bamboo, Cotton and Spandex, this shirt washes nicely and maintains its shape no matter how well loved it becomes. Wear it as-is, or if you love the fit as much as I do, wear it tucked all the way in. Also a great length for days when you feel like knotting it.

Perk #3: Port Blouse

Material: 100% Linen

SIZE CHART / COMMUNITY FIT GUIDE

Your perfect office and weekend brunch blouse. Both the cut and darting in this top work together to provide an effortless fit that does not flatten larger bust lines. This top will be an easy addition to your weekly rotation. Made in 100% Linen - need we say more?

Perk #4: Reserve Blouse

Material: 100% Linen

SIZE CHART / COMMUNITY FIT GUIDE

Finally a basic, cropped blouse that fits a wide array of busts! Both the cut and darting in this top work together to provide an effortless fit that does not flatten larger bust lines. Having deja vu? That's because this blouse literally is the Port Blouse sans ruffle. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Pair it with jeans on the weekend or trousers for the work day, this blouse works great as an everyday basic in your weekly rotation and is also made in 100% Linen glory!

Perk #5: Lund Dress

Material: 67% Bamboo Rayon, 29% Cotton, 4% Spandex

SIZE CHART / COMMUNITY FIT GUIDE

Wear it loose or belted, this dress cares about how you feel ,what stage of life you're in, and is effortless to style. Gain some weight, lose some weight, the Lund Dress, just loves you, for you. The fuller bottom allows for a gorgeous drape. Nothing like wearing  a dress you don't want to change out of as soon as you get home.You're sure to receive compliments in this when you’re out and about! Not to mention how amazing this piece would be to pack for your next trip. The perfect length, versatile, lightweight and breathable fabric.

Material: 67% Bamboo Rayon, 29% Cotton, 4% Spandex

SIZE CHART / COMMUNITY FIT GUIDE

Wear it with jeans, wear it with slides, wear it with tights, wear it every day and every season, this dress will be your friend until the end! A perfectly fitted raglan sleeve throughout the shoulder, with vertical darts up the back that allows fabric to rest perfectly in your curves, while leaving it looser in the front. A great balance of oversized comfort and tailoring. Long enough to be worn as a dress, but a super fun piece to layer and mix up!

Made from the softest fabric in our entire line up! Seriously! SO SOFT!!! Note: If you’re between sizes, size down in this piece, as the fabric does contain 6% spandex and has quite a bit of stretch.

About Us

Hi there! We're Nettle's Tale and we launched our company in 2014 with an IndieGoGo campaign you can view it HERE.

 

We've been making honest swimwear, sized after and modelled by women just like you, since the above campaign in 2014 and now, five years later we're still the same brand, with the same values, but we're launching something new and we've returned to our IndieGoGo family and our first ever customers to share it.

Risks & Challenges

Some of the challenges we face manufacturing locally is slightly higher unit costs and sometimes longer production time lines. We're overcoming some of these challenges by making sure we are not producing wasteful units or amounts of inventory through pre-order campaigns like this one. 

Other Ways You Can Help

Some of you won't be able to contribute to this campaign at this time, but still have a strong desire to see more size inclusive and ethical clothing going to market for women, that doesn't mean you can't contribute in your own way:

  • You can get the word out about the line and make some noise about our pre-order campaign to friends, colleagues and family.
  • Or you can use any of the share tools, to share this campaign on any social media channels or by direct message and email (social share links at top of this page, by the video).
