WELCOME!

Welcome to Chef & Co Canada Design Studio — Where Style Meets Function in the Kitchen

Hi and thank you for visiting!

I’m Patricia Wong, the founder, designer, and stylist behind Chef & Co Canada, the first and only Canadian chef fashion brand dedicated to designing functional, fashion-forward avant-garde aprons for chefs, restaurants, hotels, cafes, and culinary creatives.

Chef & Co Canada started with a simple idea: chefs deserve to look and feel as good as the food they create. From humble beginnings in my 600 sq ft apartment, I began designing aprons that not only worked hard in the kitchen but looked good doing it. What started as a few posts on instagram with our local Vancouver chefs has grown into a full-scale brand trusted by chefs, restaurants, and hotels across Canada and other countries.

Every apron is designed with intention,  thoughtful pocket placements, durable yet stylish fabrics, custom colour options, and signature details that reflect each chef’s individuality and branding along with my design elements. Whether it’s floral prints, bold denim washes, cotton polyester classic looks, cross-backs, or minimal neutrals, each piece is crafted to perform and to tell a story.

As Chef & Co Canada Design Studio Inc has grown, so has my community. I’ve had the privilege of working with Michelin-starred teams, mom and pop small businesses, boutique restaurants and hotels, passionate culinary students, and home cooks who share the same love for good design and great food.

This blog will be a space to share what inspires me:

– Behind-the-scenes design stories

– Custom projects I’m working on

– Industry insights and style tips for chefs

– Spotlights on restaurants and small businesses I admire

– And maybe a few thoughts from this entrepreneurial journey

Thank you for being here,  whether you’re a longtime customer, a new visitor, or someone who just stumbled across my work. I hope you’ll stay awhile.

Let’s celebrate creativity, community, and craftsmanship, one apron at a time.

With gratitude,

Patricia Wong
