About the brand

A clothing brand reimagining travel wear for modern life. Founded by former strategy consultant Kristi Soomer, the brand was born from a simple realization: women shouldn’t have to choose between style, comfort, and ethics—especially on the go. What began with a suitcase-breaking moment and a single multi-way garment has grown into a full collection of timeless, travel-inspired staples.

Designed and sewn in Toronto, Encircled’s pieces blend effortless elegance with practical features like pockets, elastic waists, and natural fabrics. Their signature category—wanderleisure—bridges the gap between athleisure and travelwear, offering styles that move seamlessly from plane rides to everyday routines.

With a strong commitment to sustainability and transparency, Encircled is a Certified B Corp and one of the few Canadian fashion brands knitting over half its fabric locally. Every piece is made in small batches under ethical conditions, prioritizing longevity, versatility, and conscious design.

Encircled helps women pack (and live) lighter—one beautifully functional piece at a time.
