"I used to hate the rain in Vancouver — not just the constant drizzle, but how nothing I wore ever felt right. Jackets were too bulky, bags soaked through, and nothing worked together.

With a background in aerospace structural engineering and over a decade as a fashion and costume technical designer, I’ve always been driven by how things work — and how they should work.

So I started designing my own.

That’s the foundation of V A R S A N T: elevated outerwear and carry built for real life. Technical but wearable. Minimal but expressive. Designed to move with you — through the city, the weather, and the pace of modern life.

Essentials that solve problems beautifully."
