How we got here
Grays was founded by partners Julia Gray and Connor Dudgeon to explore the possibilities of Ontario-made textiles and clothing using all-natural fibres. With Julia’s career in marketing and Connor’s background as a photographer and industrial designer, they bring an outsider perspective to fashion—privileging fit, material integrity and local production. Their discovery of 100% Ontario wool sparked a journey of building partnerships with farms, mills, and makers committed to preserving textile traditions. From their Toronto shop, they create, collaborate, and share the Ontario wool story while also curating a multi-brand clothing and home collection, prioritizing small makers focused on natural fibers and meaningful craftsmanship.
