A glimpse into &OR Collective, a Montreal-based clothing label, and how they use noissue packaging for a holistic brand experience for customers.

By noissue 08 September, 2023

For &OR Collective, "the future lies in dualities". Your closet doesn’t have to be too grand or too basic, too many or too few. It just needs to transcend the seasons and stand the test of time. &OR Collective’s first ever product launch consists of a carefully curated capsule collection in silhouettes, palettes, and materials that fit you anytime and anywhere—whether that be for day and/or nighttime, indoor spaces and/or outdoor places.

Women-owned and women-led, &OR Collective strives to not only make garments that fit any style but to make them fit your lifestyles, too. Each item from the collection is created with fabric from an advanced knitting technology, and the yarns they use are either natural fibers or made from recycled synthetic materials, all of which align with their mission to reduce waste and achieve a "zero-to-landfill" production process, which they intend to continually improve over time.

But &OR Collective’s commitment to quality and sustainability doesn’t stop there. To complement the aesthetics of their branding and clothing, &OR Collective collaborates with noissue for their packaging. Their packaging essentials beautifully convey the minimalism that their products exude through the intricate use of their brand elements on compostable and reusable packaging.
