If you're looking for Bohème in Canada, here's the happy answer: it's made in Canada, and you can shop it at Paloma, online across Canada, in person at our boutique in Horseshoe Bay, and shipped internationally to the US and Australia. So whether you're in Toronto, two ferries away, or sunny somewhere in New South Wales, we can get it to you.

Bohème is one of those labels people fall hard for and then can't stop asking about, usually after spotting the Fisherman Tee on someone with very good taste. So let's get into who makes it, why it's worth the wait, and exactly what to buy.

What is Bohème?

Bohème is an independent Canadian slow-fashion studio founded by Sarah Shabacon. It began the way a lot of the best things do, as a thoughtfully gathered vintage collection, before evolving into an in-house label making its own pieces, by hand, in small batches. Each garment is designed in Canada, cut from natural fabrics, in relaxed, forgiving silhouettes made, in the brand's own spirit, for all our bodies.

It's also a label with a conscience. Bohème produces in small runs to avoid waste, supports small and local businesses through its making, and gives back, including donations to the Native Women's Association of Canada and leftover stock to local shelters. So the pieces feel good in every sense: against your skin, and on your conscience.

For us, it's a natural fit. Bohème is everything we love in one label,  natural fibres, easy shapes, made slowly and well, by a small Canadian maker with real values. It's no accident it's one of our bestsellers.

Why Bohème pieces are worth it

Slow fashion has a trade-off, and we'll name it: small batches mean styles sell out, and good things take time. But that's also exactly why they're special. A Bohème piece isn't churned out by the thousand; it's made in limited numbers from genuinely lovely materials, linen that softens beautifully, hand-knit alpaca-and-wool blends, cotton with a vintage hand. These are the natural-fibre, wear-them-for-years pieces that quietly become the most-reached-for things in your closet.

Translation: when you find the Bohème piece you want, in your size, in stock, get it. We say this with love and from experience.

What to buy: our Bohème favourites

A few pieces we reorder as fast as we can, because they fly:

• The Fisherman Tee — inspired by a vintage net tee, equal parts beach cover-up and "throw it over denim and look effortless." The cult piece for a reason.
• The Asymmetric Knit — the elevated knit that does all the work in an outfit while looking like you didn't try.
• The Tie Top in Oat Linen — soft, breezy, the kind of top that makes a pair of jeans look intentional.
• The Barrel Sweat Pant — relaxed-leg comfort that somehow still looks put-together. Cabin-to-coffee perfection.
• The Striped Knit — a fuzzy, wide-sleeved alpaca-and-wool blend that people stop you to ask about.
• The Linen Sarong & the Striped Knit Bandana — the easy, lovely accessories that finish everything (and make very good "treat myself" buys).

See what's in stock right now on our Bohème collection page and if something's sold out, it's worth checking back, because we restock the staples.

How to style Bohème

Bohème practically styles itself, which is the whole appeal. The Fisherman Tee over a linen sarong for the beach, or over your favourite denim for everywhere else. The Tie Top with the Barrel Sweat Pant for the most quietly chic version of doing absolutely nothing. The Asymmetric Knit over a slip dress as the seasons turn. It's coastal, it's unfussy, it layers, it's made for a West Coast life, which makes sense, because so is the brand.

Where to buy Bohème in Canada — and internationally
