“We benefit from brands over-ordering and not managing their fabric well,” Talbot says with a laugh, motioning to the wall of fabric rolls organized on tall shelving units behind her. “We do buy that back from other brands and mill partners. That’s what we call ‘deadstock.’ So, what’s fun about that is that, when it’s done, it’s done. So, it also gives it an exclusivity that you sometimes see in Ref, when a product is sold out like that.
The company, which operates on a “collection model” versus a seasonal model, sees 20 to 40 new patterns produced by its pattern-making team each week.

“Canada is actually one of our core expansion markets,” Borenstein says, adding there are plans to open in other Canadian cities in future. “Besides the fact that it’s close to the U.S., there’s just a lot of value alignment between the brand and what we’re seeing from the consumer there. And I think that’s one of the reasons we’ve been so passionate about expansion.
