We think of them as family around here. Once the designers have finished creating our bags and the seamstresses have stitched them tight, the gang from CRDITED Estrie goes to work assembling and putting the finishing touches on each Metropolitan, GT54 and commuter bag.

More than being treated with dignity and given a great work environment, the crew from CRDITED Estrie developes social skills and abilities that foster their integration and social participation in daily life. They contribute to Arkel's success. Without their energy, laughter and dedication, Arkel’s bags would have a little less soul. 

In an era marked by outsourcing and automation, Arkel is a place where people still matter, creating and giving back to the community is second nature, and making a quality product one bag at a time is how we roll.
