Earthy Futures

We are Ocre, inspired by the Portuguese word for "ochre", a natural pigment connected with being-ness, language, soil and earth. The raw simplicity, textures and colours of this material inspires us to balance art and function to create beautiful clothing.

  

Community and Culture

We honor the traditions and language of our upbringing, which is why we use the Portuguese spelling of our home country - Brasil with an "s". Our clothing designs are born in Canada and brought to life in our hometown of Porto Alegre, Brasil, where we partner with local artisans and manufacturers to bring our creations to life. We are proud to support sustainable and ethically conscious fabric suppliers and we prioritize working with women-led and family-owned businesses.
