History

Originally founded as a fabric and sewing business in 1970, Bouclair has evolved into a lifestyle brand that offers affordable coordinated fashionable decor for every room in the home. The company currently operates under the leadership of its President, Peter Goldberg, who acquired the company in 2003 after leading a Management Buy-out.

Since 2010, it has also expanded its presence in the rest of Canada, opening points of sale in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. In the spring of 2006, Bouclair launched a new store concept called Bouclair Home (Bouclair Maison in French) diversifying its product offering to include fashionable home decor and furniture.

In 2012, Bouclair opened a wholesale division, marking the beginning of its international expansion, selling coordinated home collections in Europe, Asia and Oceania

Following the launch of its e-commerce site in March 2014, Bouclair Home also introduced its first complete line of furniture, with Atelier Bouclair – a higher-end collection of 21 design themes featuring quality materials – sold online, orders in-store, through its call centre and by catalogue.
