OUR STORY
CLOTHING BAKERY STARTED IN 2018 AS SMALL INSTAGRAM PROJECT, SELLING A FEW OLD SWEATSHIRT AFTER SCHOOL. WHAT BEGAN AS A SIDE HUSTLE QUICLY GREW INTO A FULL-TIME PASSION FOR VINTAGE, DRIVEN BY A LOVE FOR QUALITY, CHARACTER, AND STORYTELLING THROUGH STYLE.
FOUNDER CARJELU DELERA, WHO MOVED TO WINNIPEG FROM THE PHILIPPINES IN 2008, LEFT HIS MEDICAL STUDIES TO PURSUE BUSINESS AND BUILD A BRAND AROUND CURATED VINTAGE FASHION. DURING THE PANDEMIC, DEMAND EXPLODED, AND CLOTHING BAKERY EVOLVED FROM AN ONLINE STORE INTO A STAPLE OF WINNIPEG'S VINTAGE SCENE.
AFTER OUTGROWING IT'S FIRST STOREFRONT, THE SHOP MOVED INTO ITS CURRENT HOME ON 70 ARTHUR STREET IN MAY 2024. THE SPACE NOW FEATURES A FULL SHOWROOM, A HOMETOWN SECTION, AND WEEKLY DROPS FOR COLLECTORS AND CASUAL SHOPPERS ALIKE.
IN 2022, CARJELU BROUGHT ON JUAN POCHOLO BARACHINA AS A SHAREHOLDER AND MARKETING LEAD, HELPING PUSH THE BRAND FORWARD WITH FRESH ENEGERY AND CREATIVE DIRECTION.
TODAY, CLOTHING BAKERY IS MORE THAN JUST A SHOP. IT IS A REFLECTION OF THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE, THE STORE WE PRESERVE, AND THE WARM, GENUINE SERVICE WE PROMISE TO EVERY CUSTOMER.
