OUR STORY

WE STARTED NEON BUDDHA

Our story was sparked by adventure—it began in Bolivia where we made our first sweaters and led to Thailand where we opened our first factory.  Twenty five years later, that spirit of exploration still lives on each of our collections.

Inspired by sheathes of bamboo in the dense Thai jungles, rich greens and reds from gardens of Japan, glistening shells on the coastline of Italy—our pieces bring fun and adventure into your every day.

OUR CREATION

THE NEON BUDDHA EXPERIENCE

We design effortless pieces that are equally suited for working from home, as they are for walking the family dog, or enjoying a glass of wine. We include special details inspired by cultures around the world and combine them with effortlessly comfortable fabrics that move with you throughout your day.

OUR TAGLINE

"EXPRESS YOUR ZEN"

Our tagline “Express your zen” plays off the juxtaposition of "Neon" and "Buddha." It represents both calm serenity and expressive joy. The Neon Buddha woman has a zest for life, but also values comfort and calm—and this tagline encapsulates both sides of her.

The Fundamental Pillars of the Brand

1. Designed for real women, by real women

Our Canadian female-led design team knows first-hand that every woman deserves to feel and look her best. With a focus on thoughtful silhouettes, unexpected details and breathable, lightweight cotton fabric, Neon Buddha gives every woman the confidence she deserves to fully express herself.

2. Comfort meets style

We’re the original work-to-weekend brand. You can do anything in Neon Buddha. Our fabrics and fits have the comfort of pajamas, but our polished, modern silhouettes and elevated details are made for work, errands, lounging, and everywhere in-between.

3. Stand-out details

Each piece has a conversation-starting element—a special detail that looks anything but ordinary. From hand-tooled tin buttons by artisans in South-East Asia to tuxedo stripes inspired by Monaco nights—we look for inspiration everywhere to give women pieces they can’t find anywhere else.

4. Made for every season of life

We help women feel confident— no matter their age or size. We focus on fits and silhouettes that our woman feels comfortable in. Our diverse size range represents all shapes and sizes. We design age-appropriate, but modern, styles that work in her day-to-day life.

5. Always natural

Since day one, we have been committed to natural fibres that breathe, retain their shape and stand the test of time season-after season. Our collection is centred on quality cotton—one of nature’s softest and easiest-to-care-for fibres. You can feel the difference.

6. Legacy of Community

For over 25 years we’ve supported women through fashionable pieces that allow them to express their zen. We’ve empowered a fan-base of confident fashion-forward women who aren’t looking for the latest fad, but who share the value of stylish quality pieces. They welcome Neon Buddha and we couldn’t do what we do without them.
