Chayle Beaudoin was working in insurance in Nanaimo when she decided to combine her personal passions for art and community into a business.
As a creative artist, she designed and launched a clothing line featuring her very own art prints. Interest in her clothing steadily grew and she decided to investigate the world of athletic apparel. It was the perfect fit, and from there Brío Soul Apparel was created.
Brío Soul Apparel blends art and ethical fashion into functional pieces while making a difference for the planet and within our communities. “All of our pieces are ethically crafted using the highest quality materials to ensure that customers purchase a garment they’ll love,” explains Beaudoin.
Running a fair and ethical business is core to Brío Soul Apparel’s operations, and they personally visit manufacturers to ensure they provide fair wages and safe working conditions. “You can focus on being a conscious consumer and feel good wearing our clothing,” assures Beaudoin. “We close the loop by giving back to our communities through one of our partner charities.”
With deep roots on Vancouver Island, Beaudoin sought to expand Brío Soul Apparel into new markets. She first heard about Export Navigator through Community Futures Central Island and decided to embark on a new chapter joining the program. Her Export Advisor, Brady Calancie, helped Beaudoin feel confident as she learned. “It’s nice knowing someone has my back,” Beaudoin reflects.
