About
Hourglass Heaven is based in Vancouver, Canada.
Mission
Our mission is to provide high-quality clothes to women with an hourglass shape. All of the clothing is designed to fit and flatter an hourglass figure.
Sustainability
We believe in the SEEE model of sustainability, looking at the Social, Economic, Ethical, and Environmental elements.
Manufacturing: Made in Canada
Our products are made in Canada and our clothing is manufactured locally in Metro Vancouver. We believe in fair wages and good, safe, working environments and we believe in supporting the local economy.
Suppliers: US & Canadian
We work with a number of suppliers in North America. We source our materials from Canadian suppliers, if possible, with the US as the next choice. We prefer items made in Canada or the US, not just sold by a US or Canadian company. We also choose to work with and support other small startup companies, particularly other female entrepreneurs, sustainable companies, and companies that support charities.
Why?
I founded Hourglass Heaven because I believe women have a right to have clothes that fit well & look great!
I've had difficulty finding clothes that fit since I hit puberty. It was impossible to find simple items, like a pair of pants that fit, a shirt, a basic suit, a dress...
I learned that most clothing is made for a mild pear shape with a B or C cup. That's no where near fitting an hourglass with a 9"+ difference between waist and bust/hips.
I want women to feel like there are options for clothing. I know some women go so far as to choose breast reduction surgery, because they can't fit into the fashionable clothing available in stores!
I don't want women to feel like there's something wrong with their bodies because they can't find clothes that fit. I don't want women to feel pressured and feel like they *have* to surgically alter their bodies to fit clothing. I think it's better to make clothes designed to fit women's bodies!
Let me provide you with clothing that fits you like a glove. Clothing that looks like it was made for you to wear it. Clothes that hug your body.
