Joseph's journey into the world of tailoring began in 1971, in Lebanon, where he and his younger brother opened their first shop together. At just 1.5 years apart in age, Joseph and his brother shared not only a deep familial bond but also an unyielding commitment to their craft.

​

Through the turbulence of war and the daily challenges it brought, the brothers worked tirelessly—often 20-hour days, late nights, and weekends—to support their family. Their shop became more than just a place of work; it was a symbol of resilience and unity. Amidst the chaos of war, it was a space where the artistry of tailoring flourished, and their partnership stood as a testament to the strength of family and determination.

​

As the years passed, Joseph’s family grew. His children, Stephanie and Charbel, were always by his side, watching and learning from their father, while their uncle worked alongside him, inspiring them with the same values of dedication and perseverance. The shop was more than a business—it was a home, filled with the hum of sewing machines, the gentle sound of fabric being shaped into something special, and the unspoken bond of two brothers building a future for their family.

​

In 2006, amidst the continued unrest in Lebanon, Joseph made the courageous decision to move his family to Canada. At the age of 52, with no knowledge of English, he arrived in a new country determined to continue his work. This decision, while necessary for the safety and future of his children, meant leaving behind his brother—his lifelong partner and confidant.

 

The challenges were immense—starting over in a foreign land, learning a new language, and navigating an entirely different culture—but Joseph’s spirit remained unbroken. He worked even harder, overcoming obstacles with unwavering commitment. In time, he opened a new shop, re-establishing himself and his family in a place they could call home.

​

Today, Joseph is still working tirelessly, dedicated to his craft and the legacy he’s built. With his daughter Stephanie and his son Charbel by his side, the family business continues to thrive. Stephanie brings a fresh perspective, blending her father’s traditional techniques with modern designs, while Charbel uses his artistic vision and skills to contribute to the business’s growth. Though Joseph and his brother are now separated by distance, their shared legacy of hard work and craftsmanship continues to inspire the next generation.

​

From Lebanon to Canada, from father to children, and from brothers to their families, Joseph’s story is one of perseverance, love, and craftsmanship—a story that continues to inspire every garment we create. Every stitch we sew, every fabric we cut, carries the values of hard work, dedication, and family, passed down through generations.

Joseph Tailoring is more than just a business—it’s a family tradition, a living testament to what can be achieved through determination, passion, and the bonds that keep us strong.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
