Que Vdora!
Just like life, Project Vdora is an on-going initiative to be better. We never stop working out new ways to make everyone’s lives a little less complicated.
“VDORA” comes from the Spanish slang “vidorra” which means an easy-going or good life. [ i.e. “Que vidorra tienes!” = “What a life you have! ]
“V” is also a widely used symbol as in the “peace” sign, which originated during the war when people used the hand signal - palm out and index + middle finger up - signifying that the war’s over.
“Dora” is derived from the short version of the Greek name “Dorothea” meaning “gift” - or “gift from God” as a whole.
At Project Vdora, we aim to help you live the good life while living a good life.
Que Vdora! What a life!
Location
Project Vdora is based in Toronto, Canada
We want to promote our home's fashion & sewing industry and help sustain jobs and even create more. We also prioritize fair trade practices and by producing our items locally, we can ensure ethical labour practices
In addition, because everything is being done locally or even at home, we have more control over the quality of our collections.
At the moment, we are primarily selling online. We have a Nook in Port Hope, Ontario, which carries most - but not all - of our products. It is located at 68 Walton St, Port Hope, ON Canada.
If you cannot make it to our nook but are curious about how our eco fabrics feel, you may order a free sample. Shipping (via Lettermail) is on us, too!
Collaboration
We love working together to build a more sustainable community & livelihood!
Send an e-mail to collab@projectvdora.com with your idea and the right team member will be in contact with you shortly.
