We create unique & versatile accessories with the Canadian weather in mind.
The one-size-fits-all wrap-around overskirt that reflects Canada's distinctive lifestyle, inspired by the idea of a Northern, multi-generational, Canadian-designed sarong that respects nature.
TUKUAN believes that everyone who lives in a northern country should have a TUKUAN to make the most of the cold seasons, that TUKUAN is the ideal gift for a loved one.
What does TUKUAN mean?
TUKUAN is an invented word in the spirit of celebrating the heritage of our Canadian land. This is the new word that represents the Canadian hygge.
The origin: Keeping warm in style in a wintery country
The story of TUKUAN begins in a wintry country, where two women met and became friends. One was an entrepreneur, model, and actress; the other, a talented fashion designer. Both were active, versatile women, constantly on the move—walking everywhere, juggling careers, motherhood, and city life. But there was one thing they shared: they were always cold.
The initial idea came from Lisa, a mother who spent long hours walking and playing outdoors with her children. Despite wearing padded coats, her lower back and thighs were always freezing. To ease the discomfort, she often wrapped a scarf around her waist.
In 2015, she shared her idea with her friend Félicité, who immediately saw the potential. With her designer’s eye and creativity, Félicité transformed this simple yet brilliant concept into a unique and stylish garment: the TUKUAN overskirt.
Warm, elegant, and versatile, TUKUAN was created to bring comfort and style to women’s everyday lives—whether as businesswomen, mothers, or daughters of the city.
