About us
Who we are
Who is Egosum?
Egosum Sport was born in 2017 by us, Justine and Noémie Blais, two twin sisters from Lévis. We began to set up our sportswear company during our Fashion Marketing End-of-Study project at the Notre-Dame-de-Foy Campus.
Why “Egosum Sport”? What does that mean?
“Egosum” means “I am” in Latin. We have chosen our name in that language, because the company comes back to being. Loving, accepting, helping, etc. After «I am» we can add a positive word that represents us, «I am courageous», «I am persevering», «I am good», «I am unique» and so on.
What is Egosum’s philosophy?
Our company is human. The philosophy encourages us to take care of our health both physically and mentally. By promoting body diversity and a healthy lifestyle, we want people to accept themselves as they are and take steps to feel good. No more social pressure caused by the stereotypes of silhouettes used in advertising, films and even in our social media!
Why active clothing? What is our inspiration?
One day, our father took control of his life, becoming active and paying attention to his diet. He is still telling us today that this is the greatest gift that has ever been given. In addition, we have a close friend who has been through a difficult time. To get better, she started training and taking care of herself. The physical and mental benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle would be seen. They were a great source of inspiration for our project.
What is our specialty that sets us apart from existing companies?
Given the increasingly saturated market in sportswear and our desire to help comes our specialization in creating practical clothing that facilitates the practice of physical activities. This specialization helps people stay motivated. There is also our more human philosophy of physical and mental health, rather than performance and physical appearance.
Help not only people, but businesses here too!
We’ve always loved helping our surrounding. That’s why when we look for collaborators, we look for young entrepreneurs from the Quebec City region, like us, who want to break into what they like most, gain experience or grow their business. Whether it is for our process of creating patterns, promotional music, the website, etc. We like to give everyone the chance to exploit their talent, their passion as they want like us.
