About Thrive
Thrive Lifestyle started as a studio-boutique on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. It carried local, handcrafted and sustainable clothing and home goods, and it was the home of the Zoë Fox label. This is how the people behind it described what they were doing.
“In a society driven by cheap things, we believe in conscious consumption, quality over quantity and celebrating the origin of our brands.”
In the boutique's own words
In a society driven by cheap things, we believe in conscious consumption, quality over quantity and celebrating the origin of our brands. Thrive is a thoughtful curation of unique products. Our goal is to bring together ethical and sustainable brands to promote a healthy and conscientious lifestyle. We care deeply about the quality of life, family and all those special moments in between. So join us in our pursuit of a more conscious lifestyle... it's a fun ride, we promise.
Thrive is the result of a lifelong pursuit of a work/life balance while raising two children. It is an articulation of business owner/ designer Zoë Fox's style, values, and vision which allows her to enjoy life and all the experiences it throws her way. When Zoë's children were born, she began sewing clothes because she wasn't satisfied with what was available locally. Zoë wanted something that was sustainably sourced, ethically made, and looked different.
This namesake line, Zoë Fox is designed on Salt Spring Island made in Canada using only eco-friendly materials. She employs talented sewers to translate her ideas into pieces she loves and hopes you will too.
About this site
Today www.thrivelifestyle.ca is an independent catalogue and journal. It keeps the boutique's catalogue readable, piece by piece and maker by maker, and adds new writing on natural fabrics, clothing care and life on the coast.
It is not a shop. Nothing listed here can be ordered from this site, prices are the ones the pieces were listed at, and the site is not run by the boutique's founders or affiliated with the labels it describes. If a piece catches your eye, the maker named on its page is the place to look.
