EP. 01 | BonLook and the "Better Done Than Perfect" ideology

Founded in 2011 by Sophie and her brother, BonLook now has 30 boutiques, over 300 employees, and stands out thanks to its unique product offering. As a growing Canadian business who designs fashionable and quality products at a reasonable price, BonLook’s story is one of craftsmanship, desire, and passion.

Building her business in Montreal, Sophie started her entrepreneurship journey 8 years ago, when she co-founded BonLook out of her apartment. With heavy regulations in the eyewear industry in Canada, BonLook started as an e-commerce business selling to the United States, where the rules were less restrictive.

In their first year, they made over $200,000 in sales.
