Behind the label

STEP 1: we get inspired!

Canopea is a 100% female team of women between 26 and 42 years old. With or without children. In addition to the feedback you can give us, our designer Constance is keen to draw on her story and that of her team, her friends, the women in her life to dream up the swimsuits of tomorrow for the whole family. ONE objective: combine elegance with eco-responsibility, in addition to paying attention to details: a knot or ruffle that highlights the delicacy of a child's swimsuit, feminine and graphic cuts designed for all women and, as always, matchy looks for the whole family.

STEP 2: we create prototypes!

For this stage: direction Portugal! The first prototypes are being manufactured by our partner workshop with whom we have been working for 5 years.

But what is a prototype? These are the preliminary versions of our swimsuits - also called "toiles", on which we make (very) many adjustments to make them just PERFECT! Each new swimsuit will be tried on several people in order to validate the grading, that is to say the different sizes. Some swimsuits require up to 4 prototypes per swimsuit (fortunately sometimes less).

Once our prototypes are finished and validated, joy in our hearts! Production is ready to be launched... preparation of the fabrics.... laser cutting… label application… finishing… In short, there are 20 to 25 different steps in the manufacturing process.

STEP 3: the shooting

One of our favorite steps! ⁠ Objective: find the shooting location and the models who would know sublimate and give life to our jerseys ... a long and fundamental step. Our best gift to ourselves: discover all the new photos and make a selection of those that will make you dream the most. A great moment of happiness for us!

See you in March to discover our next collection and in the meantime, follow our adventures on social networks!

Once the photos and packshots are done, the hardest part now? Waiting for the new collection to be released 6 months later and finally collecting your opinions, feedback and photos. #vousencanopea
