Hi! Popping in to your feed to let you know that I have a few new pieces coming for this Fall. I’m usually a bit sad to see the end of summer, but now I’m getting excited for a change of season. How about you?

Saw friends this weekend for the first time in 16 months and it wasn’t even that awkward! I also discovered that if you’re stuck for somewhere to put your wildflower bouquet, removing the top of an empty tall beer can does the trick nicely in a zero-waste kinda way 🍻💐

Speaking of beer, I can barely believe it’s already Last Call for my Summer Capsule Collection sale. There’s a category link in my online boutique that will take you to the entire collection, which you can get at 25% off but only until Tuesday {that’s tomorrow!!} at midnight! Just use the code CAPSULE25 at checkout.

I’m happy to be donating 10% of sales from every piece in this collection to the Native Women’s Shelter of Montréal, an organization that does such important work for communities who need it most. One thing I loved about the early pandemic era was the way people really came together to help each other out and now that we’re slowly getting back to our old-lives-with-modifications, I’m convinced that lending a hand, ear, or dollar is something that has a vital place in the new normal 🌸

Dearly hoping that our government will start matching their actions to their words and begin doing right by Indigenous peoples in Canada. If there ever was a time for empty promises, surely it's long gone by now?

I made my first donation to the Native Women's Shelter of Montréal a few days ago ($100!), and I'll continue to support this organization which does such amazing work with 10% of sales from my Summer Capsule collection.

The Pinecone pant and the Community top make a neat matchy-matchy set and both these styles are in my Summer Capsule. You’ll find all the pieces in this Capsule in a special category on my online boutique, and until June 15th you can use the promo code CAPSULE25 for 25% off all these styles!

If you are a former residential school student in distress, or have been affected by the residential school system and need help, you can contact the 24-hour Indian Residential Schools Crisis Line: 1-866-925-4419

Hey friends! I've really slowed down production since COVID, but managed to put together a funky little Capsule Collection. If you're on Instagram, I'll be launching it LIVE this Sunday evening (with the usual giveaways, surprises, and musical interludes of course)! My IG handle is _ramonalisa_

La soirée se déroulera en anglais, mais si vous avez des questions pendant la diffusion, n'hésitez pas à participer! Je ferai de mon mieux ...

If you're not on Instagram but want to check it out, get in touch or type "Capsule" in a comment here!

I just had this crazy idea.

What if, instead of small independent businesses like mine clamouring to tell you about all the ways we operate ethically, that was just the norm ?

How about instead, fast fashion companies had to put ⚠️ warning labels on their clothing indicating things like

- made in unsafe buildings
- workers not paid living wages
- made with toxic dyes
- washing this garment will release billions of microfibres into our oceans because it’s made of polyester
- if unsold this garment may be burned as overstock

👋🏼 Allô! I’m Lisa and .

Today is the 8th annual day, marking the tragic anniversary of the Rana Plaza collapse in Bangladesh.

I started Ramonalisa on a mission to make fashion in a better way, because I believe that nobody should have to suffer for fashion.

I’m still on a learning curve, and often feel like there’s so much farther to go. But my goals haven’t changed.

Thinking global, acting local 🚲❤️

You have a lot to be proud of if you’ve been shopping more local lately. Not only are you supporting your local economy and investing in your community, but goods made near you also help reduce the carbon footprint of your purchases.

April is , and I’m proud to have been making your clothes right here in Montréal since 2008 and, whenever possible, delivering your orders by bicycle. {Like so many, I haven’t been to the gym in over a year so the exercise is an added bonus to me!}.

In today’s world where supply chains run from convoluted to opaque, buying made-local may seem like a drop in the ocean. But it’s exactly these small acts that add up and make a huge difference. All oceans are made of drops, n’est-ce pas?

Un peu de soleil, ça fait du bien! ☀️

Hi I’m Lisa, and I’ve been quiet around here lately but working away behind the scenes...when I’m not taking walks on Mont Royal.

Last week I spent some time with one of my favourite patterns, the Blizzard top, and updated it for a perfect fit. I have these re-stocked online in all colours and sizes now. Go take a peek while they’re still 15% off!

Also...to welcome some warmth and sunshine, I have a little surprise coming for you next week. Stay tuned?
