ABOUT
Sofs was founded in 2008 by Sophie Marcoux, a multi-talented, self-taught designer from Montreal. At the heart of Sofs, Sophie channels her passion and ingenuity into an inspiring mission: to provide artisans a creative space and offer unique, fun, and exciting items for shoppers. Living by her mantra, 'Play, have fun, make stuff… it's good for you!' she deeply believes creativity enhances happiness, health, and resilience.
The journey of Sofs has been one of continual growth and exploration. Starting with fabric bags, the business quickly expanded into a diverse range of products including illustrations, t-shirts, fabric collections, cards, and calendars. In 2012, Sophie's exploration into 3D modelling and papercraft ignited a new passion, culminating in the introduction of 3D wooden models in 2018, further diversifying Sofs' creative offerings. This expansion reflects Sophie's boundless curiosity and commitment to pushing traditional craftsmanship's limits.
A former competitive skier, tree planter, and psychology graduate, Sophie has boldly forged her own path. She has been a fulfilled and sober mother for over twenty years, infusing her energy and passion into every creation.
Sofs invites everyone to delve into the world of construction and creativity, celebrating the joy of making things by hand. The brand emphasizes the authenticity of handcrafted products, a testament to personal strength and the power of imagination.
Sofs and Les Produits du Québec
"We've always relished the opportunity to craft things ourselves, or at least to shape them from our own ideas and innovations. This approach not only allows us to innovate but also to offer products that are uniquely ours. Supporting local is more than just an economic choice for us. It's about valuing the contributions of creative, hands-on individuals in our society, enabling them to find their purpose through their craftsmanship and products."
-Sophie Marcoux, founder
