atelier HOTELMOTEL

Bonjour! I am Corinne Bourget. Founder of atelier HOTELMOTEL.

I am a woman entrepreneur, leather specialist, shoemaker, designer, teacher and I have a dog named Happy.

I specialize in leather and have been working in this industry since 2009. I have accumulated know-how and experience in various production warehouses in Montreal and France. I wanted to learn how to make shoes, but there are no more schools in Canada. Everything is focused on the design to send the production abroad. However, Canada was a very large manufacturer before the era of globalization and companies left one after the other in the 1980s.

Worried about this situation, I went to learn custom shoe making techniques in Melbourne, Australia, then followed some master classes at the Centre des Métiers du Cuir de Montreal with guest teachers from the London College of Fashion.

I started HOTELMOTEL in 2018 with the aim of preserving the know-how of shoe making in Montreal in an ethical and sustainable way. I handcraft unisex sneakers, sandals, boots and goods in my studio and politely invite you to disturb the fashion industry by wearing and using accessories carefully handmade with tenderness and meticulousness following the values of the Slow Fashion movement.

Corinne Bourget est la fondatrice de l’atelier HOTELMOTEL. Femme entrepreneure, maroquinière, cordonnière, designer et enseignante, elle s’est spécialisée dans le travail du cuir et évolue dans ce milieu depuis 2009. Son parcours professionnel, jalonné d’expériences acquises au sein de diverses maisons de production à Montréal et en France, témoigne d’un savoir-faire patiemment construit.

Face à la disparition des formations pratiques en fabrication de chaussures au Canada — remplacées par des cursus centrés sur le design et l’externalisation de la production — Corinne a choisi de se former à l’étranger pour préserver ces techniques. Elle a approfondi l’art de la chaussure sur-mesure à Melbourne, en Australie, puis auprès de maîtres au Centre des Métiers du Cuir de Montréal, en collaboration avec des intervenants invités du London College of Fashion.

En 2018, animée par la volonté de sauvegarder l’artisanat de la chaussure à Montréal selon des principes éthiques et durables, elle crée HOTELMOTEL. Dans son atelier, elle conçoit et fabrique à la main sneakers, sandales et bottes unisexes, chaque pièce portant la marque d’un geste précis et attentif. Elle invite ainsi à bousculer les codes de la mode en adoptant des accessoires conçus avec tendresse et minutie, à l’image des valeurs du mouvement Slow Fashion.
