The idea
In 2016, Fabrice was working at a camera store, fueled by his love for photography, he started collecting both film and digital cameras. Wanting to give his cameras a touch of elegance, he embarked on a mission to find stylish straps. However, he quickly discovered that the market was flooded with poorly made fabric or plastic products, leaving him dissatisfied.
Determined to solve the problem, Fabrice took matters into his own hands:
"You know what? I'll make them myself."
Despite having no experience in leather crafting, he tackled the challenge with his usual perfectionism. After lots of hard work and training, he finally created high-quality camera straps that met his standards.
Recognizing the demand for such products, Fabrice began selling his leather straps at the camera store, and that's when Fab' was born. With a clear goal in mind, Fab' aimed to produce durable, eco-friendly, and timeless leather goods.
A durable approach
Creating durable, well-crafted products designed to last a lifetime is a meaningful way to reduce consumption and encourage a more responsible approach. At Fab’, the selection of raw materials and manufacturing methods plays an essential role in this philosophy. Whenever possible, Fabrice chooses leather made in Quebec or vegetable-tanned leather, known for its lower environmental impact. He also strives to reduce transportation distances by working with local suppliers or those located as close as possible to his workshop in Montreal.
in full expansion
In 2024, Fab' partnered with a leading distribution company in the Canadian photo industry. This collaboration will make Fab' camera straps available to photographers from coast to coast in numerous camera stores across the country.
Fabrice and his team of skilled leatherworkers are prepared to elevate Fab' to new heights, eager to spread their enthusiasm for crafting exceptional products to a wider audience.
