About NOPé
Get outside. Feel good. Live freely, in the open air.
At NOPé, we do more than design head and neck accessories, we create comfort, freedom, and a healthy dose of motivation for all your outdoor adventures, big or small. Born in Saguenay, shaped by the fjord and northern winds, NOPé is a proudly local brand, rooted in community and driven by movement.
We design our accessories for those who want to move freely and stay connected to what makes them feel alive. Inspired by a region where nature reigns, and by the wide-open spaces and warmhearted people who inhabit it, NOPé celebrates fresh air, authenticity, simplicity, and the boldness to be yourself.
Because today’s world is a giant playground, NOPé invites you to embrace the outdoors in total freedom. Breathe. Walk. Ski. Explore. Connect, and reconnect.
An adventure that started… on the run.
NOPé is a story from the heart. It evolves with Catherine Sauvageau, born under the winds of Charlemagne (yes, the same town as Céline Dion). A passionate runner and outdoor enthusiast, Catherine joined NOPé during the pandemic while rethinking her career in finance.
- What she was looking for: a project full of meaning.
- What she found: a brand rooted in freedom, courage, and community.
- What she did: she dove headfirst into entrepreneurship, driven by a sincere desire to make a difference.
Now General Manager, Catherine leads the company with heart, supported by a growing team of passionate collaborators and a vibrant outdoor community. Fun fact: she designed the hidden stick figure in the Mammoth print. Her masterpiece, she says.
Whether it’s creating jobs, supporting causes close to her heart, or promoting physical activity among young girls, Catherine constantly reminds us of her vision for a world where everyone can find their place, and their spark.
One mission only: life outdoors, free as the air
To encourage movement, celebrate authenticity, and make the outdoors accessible to all.
At NOPé, we want to inspire people to step outside, move, and reconnect with what truly matters. We create simple, thoughtfully designed accessories. Some with neutral patterns, others that make you smile. All warm, all versatile, ready for the mountain, the park, or the metro. And always stylish.
A team with heart
NOPé is more than a company, it’s a meaningful team effort. A big extended gang of creators, managers, seamstresses, photographers, ambassadors, and friends. Outdoor lovers. Mountain people. Life-outside people.
It’s also a chance to celebrate the work of local artisans, like Ruth, who makes all our prototypes in Jonquière. And our leftover fleece scraps? They’re recycled into technical equipment for people who are bedridden or hospitalized. That’s NOPé in action!
