about us
Hello,
My name is Taylor. The owner, founder and creative behind Au Naturale.
Au Naturale was established in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the beginning of 2021, shortly after my daughters arrival to the world. At the time we were on lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. Au Naturale was created as an outlet to exercise my creativity in design and fashion while being a new mom during an isolating time in our lives.
MISSION
My goal was to create inclusive brand. To create high quality, affordable pieces. To create a space for all shapes, sizes, genders, and ethnicities. And most importantly, to create pieces that you can feel your best in. I've always believed that the best version of yourself is the one you were meant to be. The organic you. The 'Au Naturale' you.

Meaning Behind
What does 'Au Naturale' mean anyway?
Au Naturale in french stands for all natural or being in a 'natural state'. Which goes back to my belief, that the best version of yourself is the organic you. The 'Au Naturale' you!
Design and fashion have always been a passion of mine, but I have a bigger vision for Au Naturale. One day I hope to tie my love for health and wellness into this brand and offer something bigger and more impactful than just jewelry and accessories.
the Name
Our raw materials are handcrafted in small batches by our team of artists overseas, then mindfully designed, assembled and packaged by hand in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Every piece is personally tested by myself and a trusted group of individuals. We stand by the quality and worth of every piece Au Naturale has to offer. Jewelry and design is just the beginning for us!

Sustainability
+ Packaging
Keeping retail shopping as sustainable as possible has always been important to me. Here at Au Naturale we practice sustainability in a few different ways.
#1 Quality
We offer high quality pieces that, if taken care of properly will last you a lifetime. Lowering consumption rate by offering pieces you should only have to buy once.
#2 Packaging
Our packaging is 100% plastic-free, compostable, and can be up-cycled or reused.
