Meet The Maker ~ Laura Bemister

A Story of Origin, Intention, and Creation

​

I was raised in a community of 250 people on a hobby farm — no pavement, no stoplights, just open sky, trees, and time. Nature was my constant companion, and creativity was how I connected to it.

I began designing when I was seven or eight, cutting, pinning, imagining. There’s a story my mother loves to tell — I was five when she asked me what I thought of her new dress. I said, “I like the colour, but I don’t like the style.” I only vaguely remember it, but in hindsight, it says everything.

​

That grassroots beginning shaped how I move through the world — and how I create. I was raised to value slowness, substance, and self-expression. That’s why I’ve never wanted Muse to follow trends or chase mass production.

From day one, my collection has been designed and made locally here in Vancouver. It’s the only way I know how to work — close to the fabric, close to the people, and close to the intention behind every piece.

​

Each garment is made to order, crafted with care, and grounded in the belief that what we wear should feel good on the skin and good in the soul. I choose sustainable bamboo fabric because it's breathable, elegant, and kind — to your body and to the planet.

The designs are classic, wearable, and flattering, made to travel, to layer, and to last.

This isn’t fast fashion. It’s thoughtful fashion — rooted in experience, shaped by nature, and always, always made with love.
