About
| Kumari’s Bloor-Yorkville, owned by Chief Executive Officer Kumari Colson, is a fashion boutique inspired by the aestheticism of cultures she has been immersed in from an early age in life. Based in Toronto, her over 30 years of experience in textile design and manufacturing has allowed her to create a fashion destination which parlays her flair and affinity for vibrancy and travel through an array of unique pieces like shawls, scarves, clothing, and jewellery.
Every handmade piece at Kumari’s is crafted to the highest quality in collaboration with her weavers, embroiderers, craftsmen, and gem cutters who operate out of Nepal. All cashmere pieces are handmade on a wooden loom, similar to ancient techniques used by garment makers generations before, therefore each garment take days on end to complete. Kumari’s emphasizes the importance of creating accessible pieces which are also versatile, exclusive, and high quality for the modern woman. |
