Hello, my name is Carmina de Young and I'm a fashion designer. I came to Canada in 2000.
I started my business in 2011. I also completed a program from 2006 to 2009.
And a few years after I started my business, I created my own label.
I always dreamed of having a business. My idea was originally of helping my family in Mexico.
Today I can see the benefits of not only helping my family but helping the community.
It is important to become a B Corporation because this ensures that our company is
doing its best to be sustainable and also its a way to encourage our business partners
to become sustainable and conscious of our environment.
So my name is Donald and I'm design director for Carmina. I've been with the company for almost a year.
My background is in fashion design. I've worked in every garment category so mainly design and
product development, and associated with production and manufacturing.
We are also a family oriented business.
So the people who work for us. I am a mother and there is two ladies who are also mothers of young children.
So I am very flexible when it comes to their family needs and their hours with their children.
The thing that I love about working with Carmina because the company is still so small
it's great to see how much of your energy and effort
make an impact, a physical impact that you can almost see right away.
I think that's the most fulfilling thing is knowing that, whatever I'm doing, is directly affecting the growth of the company.
We do try to become a zero waste business, so we try and find ways to repurpose the scraps.
Business someone trying to find ways to. To report.
Scraps. So my name is Nora T. students from my business
school in two days clothes from. Pauline I'm rocking also red dress and her
husband. Well I actually fell in love with the clothing
first before you even knew of the the story behind your brand so as you can feel the quality
it's really high quality fabrics and styles really flattering to you that's what you need
to the clothing and then finding out that this great community values and environmental
values. I like so many brands you don't have to choose
between looking at it and doing so feel good you're conscious clean but at the same time
you're wearing nice clothes that I really badly about kindness.
When I wear something that's from comedians line I feel like I'm wearing my values recently
this summer in Ghana and is that a lot of market share and really sunny impacted fast
fashion clothing trade around the world someone I wear something from her now I know that
it's meant to last a long time it's high quality the styles timeless its source seemingly from
parks like you and it's made out to clean any community supporting migrant workers when
I read this I feel like I'm wearing a story and not it's fantastic.
My name is and I am an engineer designer and home stagers and I am also an immigrant myself
to Canada I migrated to Canada in two thousand. And six.
It's been awhile and that the business of venture that we are speaking up today is that
creating decorative pillows that are eco friendly inmate out by immigrant refugee women and
I have a true passion to help immigrants and refugees because when you come into it and
you country from your home country you have a lot of challenges settling down finding
work and things like that and I I want to be.
Able to break some barriers for people who are new to Canada.
So what. Really.
Will. Bring that highlight to the socially responsible
side of my business will be first you know helping the community and a couple of ways
so I'll be incorporating refugee and immigrant women but I'm also looking at raising awareness
in the current business other businesses that are in the design business our furniture our
clothing business that are dealing with fabric so I want to be kind of the person where I
can go and speak to them about what happens after those particular pieces and are not
being used so staying things like scraps and things like fabric samples at furniture stores
and places making them aware off you know make giving them another life and I'm all
about reusing and recycling thing so while helping these women I can also help the other
businesses feel less at feel like they have less of a carbon print on the on the environment
so bringing their scraps and bringing their fabric waste from them sorting through it
and then creating something new out of that and I think that is a huge thing a huge part
of being socially responsible and eco friendly in the in the design world because we definitely
need that we have a lot of waste that that is produced out of the design industry.
Being eco friendly making making other businesses I wear and raising awareness about our carbon
footprint when we are actually in the industry and creating these products we sometimes forget
about the waste that were leaving behind. So.
Really generating awareness and other businesses and talking to them about what can be done
to reduce that waste and and you know talking to them about how they can contribute to other
businesses by giving them their fabric waste. So.
Things like you know fabric samples from furniture stores and waste from our scraps from other
fashion designers and places like that are some of the things that I'm targeting to get
the fabric waste and then recreating them into decorative products of pillows.
People from my culture and other refugees that I've seen coming to Canada they have
as as women we have a lot more responsibility not only.
Contributing to the income to household but also making sure everybody who has migrated.
I'm going to different things. So you want to make sure they are okay.
They're fat. And you taking care of the home and things
like that so. So food with my particular.
Business idea at the social enterprise they're trying to create is I want does it mean to
have flexibility you know if they if they want to work from that particular facility
they can actually come and work there or they can actually work from home and still support
their families they'll also have flexibility within our number of.
Hours they want to work. And then also.
Have kind of like a community to engage with and now that there are other people like them
outside of their home and they can actually get support from them they can share knowledge
that they have and get knowledge from other people and you know have a sense of community
belongingness. Scared accents and will be socially responsible
by employing immigrant her nephew event and also creating that core products such as pillows
out of recycled or usable. Fabric.
So the biggest thing would be forced providing employment to.
People. That are marginalized students lack of Canadian
work experience sometimes when you need to a country you have a hard time getting your
credentials credentials I recognized by on the Canadian workplaces and also not knowing
their workplace culture in Canada that can be big barriers for new immigrants and refugees.
So many fantastic aspects about community and business is that she's trying to become
zero waste which I think very few clothing retailers today deal how she's saying is that
she is partnering with Kane community is using Canadian scraps you employed women to make
the less I really love that there's this life cycle approach to comedians clothing manufacturing
process and I feel good about making impact on the meeting creaminess clothes and also
scraps.
