CHANTAL MEAGHER

Chantal has a life-long love of textiles and fabrics, which she has collected—her family might say “hoarded”—from around the world.  Wherever work and curiosity has taken her—from Poland to China to Southeast Asia and Turkey—she can always be found exploring markets and shops in search of unique and beautiful products.  (Always. I mean, you can’t drag her away.) A former diplomat and human rights lawyer, she is committed to ensuring our products meet high standards for fair manufacturing and production practices.

JESSYE CALVERT

Jessye’s creative eye comes from a childhood spent travelling and living in Asian cultures, haggling in Beijing markets at the tender age of five, navigating the streets of Bangkok as a teenager, and yes, following Chantal into those same markets and stores in search of interesting textiles. A criminology and evolutionary anthropology major at the University of Toronto, she’s now back in B.C. riding out the pandemic between ski hills and taking online classes. When she’s not snowboarding, studying, or exploring the mountains, she is designing our website and mapping the creative direction of SGB.
