Bouclair

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.[6] The company currently operates under the leadership of its President, Peter Goldberg, who acquired the company in 2003 after leading a Management Buy-out.

In the late 1990s,[7] the company opened numerous stores in Ontario[8] and became a popular name amongst homeowners during this time. Since 2010, it has also expanded its presence in the rest of Canada, opening points of sale in Nova Scotia,[9] New Brunswick,[10] Newfoundland,[11] Manitoba, Alberta,[12] Saskatchewan[13] and British Columbia.[14] In the spring of 2006,[15] 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,[13] marking the beginning of its international expansion, selling coordinated home collections in Europe, Asia and Oceania[16]

Following the launch of its e-commerce site in March 2014, Bouclair Home also introduced its first complete line of furniture, with Atelier Bouclair[17] – a higher-end collection of 21 design themes featuring quality materials – sold online, orders in-store,[18] through its call centre and by catalogue.

Bouclair Home sells a choice of window coverings, bedding, lighting, wall decor, home accents, rugs, kids' furnishings and baby decor.[19] The products are created by its team of in-house designers and presented as coordinated collections in its retail outlets.

It was recognized in 2012 as one of the top companies to watch.[3] Bouclair ranks 223 amongst Top 500 Largest Companies in Quebec,[20] Canada.
