A Canadian company, led by women from Saguenay, has played a pivotal role in reshaping the ceremonial robes of the Supreme Court of Canada.
Les Rabat-Joies, a brand spearheaded by entrepreneur Romane Le Gallou, has made history by redesigning the iconic ceremonial attire worn by the Supreme Court for the first time in 150 years.
What started as a simple favor for a friend during Le Gallou’s time in law school blossomed into a thriving business specializing in unique court attire. The company’s journey culminated in a prestigious project commissioned by the Supreme Court of Canada to revamp their traditional robes.
The new design, meticulously crafted by Les Rabat-Joies, features black silk fabric, red silk piping inspired by the Canadian flag, and thousands of intricate embroidered elements derived from the court’s heraldic emblem. The garments also boast custom black metal buttons engraved with the Supreme Court’s logo, embodying a blend of elegance and tradition.
Despite facing tight deadlines and challenges, Le Gallou and her team navigated the intricate process with dedication and creativity. The redesigned robes, unveiled at a judicial event, garnered admiration and appreciation from the legal community.
Looking ahead, Le Gallou aims to continue providing top-notch court attire to legal professionals nationwide while upholding the craftsmanship that defines Les Rabat-Joies. Despite the shortage of skilled seamstresses, she remains committed to keeping production local in Saguenay and extending their services to legal professionals across Canada.
