About Us


at work in our studio

Candice Levine is a maker of pretty things who hails from Toronto. In the 90’s Candice earned a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Western Ontario and a degree in Fashion Design from Parsons School of Design, NYC.

Since she makes a funny face when attacked by an itchy piece of fabric, Candice created the candi factory to experiment in super-cute softness and occasional polka-dots. These lovable underthings and other things are made from scratch in her High Park studio.

Our little factory runs smoothly thanks to Shreve, factory advisor/husband, and to River, our wild 2 1/2 year old son who mostly keeps away from the sewing machines.

Our days wouldn’t be complete without the Rheostatics on the stereo (a fine example of Canadian art rock, and also the best band that ever was).
