5 out of 5 starsThis bag is even nicer than I expected it would be...super huge and sturdy! Really well made and softer than I thought it would feel. I really look forward to a long life together.

5 out of 5 starsThis bag is amazing. Beautifully constructed from top-quality materials. Having both the short and long handles is such a great feature. Over-sized bags of this quality are extremely rare...so glad I found these. Thank you Catherine & Emily!

Oh hello
What is amie amie?
amie amie (pronounced ah-mee ah-mee) means friend friend (feminized) in French
We are a queer, woman-owned small business based in Mile End, Montreal and have been operating since 2018. We believe the answer to excessive consumption and the fast-fashion cycle rests in ethical business models, reusing what already exists and what has been produced close to home.
Our accessories are made in our very own studio using locally sourced, quality materials. Each tote bag is meticulously designed, cut and sewn by us.
Our selection of vintage focuses on Canadian-made 90s clothing, durable fabrics, minimalist shapes and styles, boxy classics, vintage denim, and anything else that makes us feel nostalgic.

◐ Sizing and Measurements
We sometimes use the binary terms "men" and "women" in our sizing in an effort to give a clear description of the garment. According to the way clothes are made, sizing equivalencies are typically: men's small / women's medium; men's medium / women's large; men's large / women's XL, etc. We do not mean for this to be an indication of who we think should wear those clothes. Everyone should wear whatever they want no matter where they are on the gender spectrum.
We do our best to measure each item carefully and to estimate what the contemporary sizing equivalent would be. If you're unsure about sizing info, let us know: we can help!
How items are measured (FLAT):
Tops
Shoulders: shoulder seam to shoulder seam
Chest: straight across under the arms from pit to pit
Waist: smallest part of the mid section
Bottom of top: straight across bottom
Length: midway between the collar and shoulder seam, straight down to bottom hem
Bottoms
Waist: straight across the top of the pants
Hips: measured at bottom of zip or button fly
Inseam: crotch seam, down through the inside of the leg
Rise: crotch seam up the middle to the top of the waistband
Cleaning and Laundering
All items are either machine or hand washed and/ or steam cleaned. On some occasions, delicate items get dry cleaned.
Condition
Your should expect your new amie amie piece to be in good to excellent, wearable condition. We do our very best to represent the pieces as truthfully and realistically as possible, carefully listing any noticeable flaws. Everything in the shop, unless otherwise stated, is previously worn and will, naturally, show some minor signs of wear.
Garment Colour
We aim to accurately represent the colours of garments through the photos and written descriptions. However, we cannot guarantee that the true colours of the garments will be the same as what you see on your device.
Durability
Every piece is double checked for quality and durability, but we still cannot guarantee them due to their vintage condition. If ever there is an issue, please don't hesitate to send us a message. We strive to give every customer a positive and happy experience.

This applies to clothes and shoes only. All accessories are final sale. Please note that this is a service offered only to our Montreal customers.
