Why Maladroit?

Maladroit is a word that translates to “awkward” or “clumsy” in French — a nod to the imperfections that make us real. It’s a celebration of the misfits, the misunderstood, and the ones who refuse to be boxed in by expectations. In a world obsessed with filters and perfection, Maladroit is a reminder that there’s beauty in being raw, unpolished, and unapologetically yourself.

Our clothes aren’t just fabric — they’re a message:

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be you.

At Maladroit, we believe that being different isn’t a weakness — it’s your power.

This is more than streetwear. This is a movement.

  • What is it ?

    Organic Cotton is cotton that is grown without using any chemical fertilizers or pesticides on it. It is grown on land that has been treated and given sufficient time (at least three years) for the removal of all the toxic residues of chemical fertilizers and pesticides used earlier on it.

  • What differences does it make?

    Organic cotton reduces water pollution by 5x compared to conventional cotton. Reducing runoff from pesticides protects both the ecosystems and people that depend on the local water supply.

  • Where does our come from?

    Our signature hoodie cotton is sourced from the United States.

    The cotton is then dyed and knitted in Ontario and embellished (embroidery, label, etc.) in Montréal.
