About NOPé
Get outside. Feel good. Live freely, in the open air.
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!
