The following year, Stephanie attended the Venture Creation Program and learned the necessary skills to run the business. Today, the label is going strong, as it continues to grow and evolve into a unique alternative to mass produced clothing. “Glyphiks has different outlook on the Fashion Industry. Our goal is not to mass produce our garments, but to bring our customer a sense of individuality by only doing small productions runs with high quality fabrics and unique designs. We do our best to promote green living by creating a garment that will stand the test of time, and we are conscious of limiting our waste and avoiding plastic packaging. All manufacturing is sweat shop free in Canada.” –Stephanie Storm Glyphiks is available in select stores across Ontario as well as various online stores.
