About me / About business or organisation:

Activist
by
nature:
the
Thief
is
reclaiming
the
encounter
between
fashion
and
self–expression.

The
Thief
seeks
to
avoid
any
compromise
between
natural
self‐expression
and
high‐end
fashion.


Founded
in
2006
in
Toronto,
Canada
by
Sonja
den
Elzen,
Thieves
was
born
out
of
her
desire
to
harmonize
her
ethical
commitments
to
sustainability
with
her
passion
for
design.





Thieves
pieces
use
the
subtle
asymmetry
of
form,
detail
and
color
that
we
find
in
all
natural
bodies
to
modify
and
play
with
clean
lines
and
classic
cuts
resulting
in
an
urban
organic
aesthetic.

Thieves
uses
sustainable
fabrics
such
as
hemp
blends,
peace
silks,
organic
wools,
organic
cottons,
lyocell,
recycled
materials,
organic
linen,
hemp,
and
soy.

All
pieces
are
conceived
and
assembled
in
Toronto.
