Boduran Botanical Apparel

Hi, I'm Kris Choi, a Canadian clothing designer, and textile developer. But beyond my titles, I'm someone who has battled relentless skin dermatitis and chemical sensitivities firsthand. In 2015, my fight hit rock bottom. Waiting six agonizing months for a dermatologist appointment, my life spiralled. The constant itchiness pushed me to the edge of self-destruction, stealing my sleep and plunging me into a dark pit of despair. Those nights of tossing and turning lit a fire in me—a fierce determination to find a solution not just for myself, but for everyone struggling like me. It dawned on me that the fashion industry, the very world I lived and breathed in, was unknowingly contributing to our suffering. Synthetic dyes, laden with toxins, were poisoning not just our bodies but our planet too. Driven by this revelation, Boduran was born. Each piece isn't just fabric and thread; it's a beacon of hope for those seeking relief from the relentless itchiness that tormented me. Every stitch embodies my unwavering commitment to transparency, sustainability, and holistic wellness. Join me in reshaping the fashion industry into a sanctuary—a place that values personal well-being, sustainability, and self-care above all else. Together, let's weave a new narrative, one where every garment tells a story of empowerment and healing. Because every thread counts in this journey toward a brighter, healthier future.
