“i’ve learned we should all be proud of who we are becoming, and how spectacular we are. i’ve learned that understanding our vulnerability is key to our strength, and that feeling beautiful in your own skin is just about as good as it gets. i hope onderbroeks can make our customers feel empowered and thankful for their bodies and their minds; that's my idea of success.”
- tara jeronimus, onderbroeks founder
onderbroeks began as a project to help me cope with my anxiety. sewing was a way for me to relax, focus on something outside of myself, and to do something that allowed me to express my creativity. while all of those things are still true, onderbroeks has since become so much more.
after making the decision to leave the hustle and bustle of toronto in search for a more peaceful place to live and grow, onderbroeks found a forever home in beautiful kingston, ontario. relocating the business felt like a big risk (cue that anxiety we talked about), but i crossed my fingers, and hoped to god (literally, out loud) the business would survive my leap of faith.
luckily, since moving and converting the top floor of my home to a dedicated studio for our team, onderbroeks has grown dramatically. we’ve achieved our goal of moving away from single, made-to-order pieces; instead we design and produce small batch, curated collections of luxury robes and loungewear. we continue to partner with a growing list of wholesale clients, including exclusive boutiques, luxury and medical spas, and we’re proud to create custom packages for bridal parties across the country. needless to say, i’m so glad (as i have been many times before) that i chose to have faith.
today onderbroeks is a…
canadian-made and responsibly produced right here in kingston, ontario. our team focuses on creating unique, high-quality garments using OEKO-TEX® certified, ethical, and sustainable fabric. when you buy your first (or fifth, or twelfth) onderbroeks piece, you know you’re supporting a local company that values our people, and our planet.
above all else, every onderbroeks piece is designed to be a reminder that we are all made up of beautiful, unique details. so go ahead, wrap it around tight. this acceptance of simply being yourself.
