Photo of Galerie-boutique Bref, a Boutique / Store in Mile End

Since 2016, Bref has stood out as a living space where art, design, and curiosity intersect. More than a boutique, it’s a place for exchange and discovery—where each visit offers a new world to explore. Every month, the space transforms around a different theme, gathering exclusive objects from emerging creators both local and international.

In 2022, the project expanded with La Maison, a neighbouring concept that reimagines the idea of home through carefully selected pieces made to last—objects designed to live beautifully within everyday life.

Behind Bref are Maude, an environmental designer, and Cynthia, a brand strategist. Together, they share a simple belief: that art and design are vital forces for local economies, and that connecting creators, objects, and the public can reshape how we consume, collect, and create.
