Creation of clothing, handbags, jewellery and accessories

Kazak is a Quebec-based line of eco-friendly clothing and accessories. Founded by self-taught designer Geneviève Paquette in 2008, after gaining experience in the costume industry, the brand began with mittens and hats made from recycled leather and fur.
Over the years, the product line expanded, and Kazak grew within Montreal’s fashion scene, offering clothing, bags, and jewelry. Material selection is always based on origin and environmental impact. Kazak prioritizes more ethical leather, including vegetable-tanned or recycled leather, natural fibers, organic cotton, and Oeko-Tex certified textiles, ensuring environmentally and socially responsible production.
