Nettle's Tale

This flagship store is home to our in-house line of locally made swimwear and women’s apparel. We’re determined to change the swimsuit shopping experience for women. We also carry home goods & apothecary items from other local & ethically made companies.

Canadian-made, thoughtfully designed swimwear and apparel.
Made for and modelled by bodies like yours.

We fit all of our designs on the bodies around us — our friends, moms, neighbours, everyday people just like you.
That’s why yours will feel like it’s custom-made.

Nettle’s Tale launched in 2014 from a wildly successful crowdfunding campaign. Our initial campaign goal was quickly surpassed (seven times over!), all thanks to the community of people who believed in our vision. In 2019 our desire to create locally made, honest swimwear expanded to include an apparel line.

OUR CORE VALUES:

We believe in manufacturing locally and ethically.

We stand for quality, thoughtful design.

We value inclusivity, honesty, kindness, and joy.

We work to always be better.

We acknowledge with respect and gratitude that the land on which we work and live is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.
