Beaufille


Beaufille is a Canadian fashion label specializing in fashion, jewelry and accessories for women. Beaufille is a nonsensical French word meaning “handsome girl,” or “one who presents an effortless chic demeanor.” The brand symbolizes the marriage of masculine and feminine and an allusion to their French names and heritage. It was founded as Chloé comme Parris in 2009 by sisters Chloé Gordon and Parris Gordon. The name was changed to Beaufille in April 2013. Both sisters studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Chloé Gordon graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree majoring in Textiles while Parris graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree majoring in jewelry. Chloe Gordon designs the ready-to-wear while Parris Gordon creates all of the accessories for the label.
The brand has received media coverage in newspapers, magazines, and other publications, including Vogue, Style.com, Nylon, FASHION, Women's Wear Daily and Glamour.
