ABOUT FADE DEPT.

Fade Dept. is a small Toronto-based brand focused on accessories that age well and are hard to find anywhere else in Canada. We believe in slow fashion, quality materials, and the beauty of things that gain character through use.

About us

Our Beginning


Fade Dept. started with one upgrade: better boot laces.

What began with Ontario-made paracord laces and Canadian flag lacekeepers grew into a mission to carry products built for long wear and natural fading.

What We Believe

We stand for durability and craftsmanship.

Everything we offer is made to last, and made to look better with time.

Craft & Materials

We partner with makers who value tradition and quality:

  • Made in Ontario 550 paracord
  • Made in Quebec leather
  • Small-batch Japanese workshops like Kobashi Studio and Wild Frontier Goods
  • Made in Switzerland leather care products
  • Made in Hong Kong T-shirts

Every item has a purpose, a story, and room to collect yours.

Today

Fade Dept. now offers:

  • Paracord, Taslan & leather boot laces
  • Solid brass accessories
  • Small-batch Japanese goods
  • Limited-run items and one-of-ones

All curated with one goal - products that reward long-term wear.

Looking Ahead

Fade Dept. is slowly growing toward a future physical space in Toronto.

For now, we’ll keep building, creating, and finding pieces worth wearing in.

Thanks for being part of the journey.
