We believe there's love in old fabric that bonds us and we're so happy you're here.

Tucked away in the heart of Toronto’s vibrant Art + Design District you will find the warm and welcoming Honeybea studio. Lovingly coined ‘The Designhive’, this busy little workshop stacked floor to ceiling with a feast of found fabrics and sacred heirloom textiles has flourished with creativity and unstoppable innovation in the sustainable fashion space for nearly two decades. A pioneer of the upcycle movement and passionate circular fashion advocate, textile artist and thrift fanatic Rebecca Caulford’s original vintage-inspired designs are so much more than simply recycling and repurposing second hand materials.  Using her self-taught craft to capture and transform the deep, inherent love she feels from old world textiles, Caulford has found a common, heart-warming thread that bonds and disarms us all in her nostalgic and influential Heirloom Textile Collections.

A labour of love.

There is a sacred, spirit-guided process to finding each achingly special and well-travelled textile we use. A rapidly vanishing and non-renewable resource, each slow-stitched, story-filled quilt, blanket or tablecloth that lands in our path is on a journey that started long ago and far away. Cherished reminders of the past steeped in resourcefulness and resilience, each hand-picked piece has been rescued from the rubble of today’s warp speed world so it can continue to shine bright with all the love it has left to give.
