Un Burundais crée des accessoires de mode en bois pour aider la planète
La mode et les changements climatiques ne sont généralement pas associés. Sauf dans l'esprit de Frank Ndayubashe. Le jeune designer, originaire du Burundi, a lancé il ya quelques mois la compagnie Off The Wood. L'idée est de créer des accessoires de modes pour aider l'environnement. Ses lunettes et noeuds papillon sont fabriqués au Québec à partir de vieilles planches à roulettes. Déjà plusieurs clients ont commandé ces lunettes et noeuds en bois sur le Web. À l'automne, le styliste doit lancer une cravate et éventuellement se lancer dans les tissus de fibres tirées du bois.Â
The man behind OffTheWood
Franck Ndayubashe was sent to Canada at 14 years old to escape the civil war in Burundi, East Africa. He and his brother came to live with their older brother in Montreal, which was a good fit considering Ndayubashe’s mother tongue was French. But he decided to leave the Quebec city to attend the University of Winnipeg as he wanted a quiet place with few distractions so he could focus on studying and his future plans. He always knew he wanted to open a business one day, so he majored in business administration.Â
