From Our Executive

Archie Merigold, CFO Over the past 32 years I’ve spent my life in private enterprises. It has been a sincere pleasure to be part of this business as it has matured. I’ve yet to be involved in anything as exciting. The quality and styling of these fashion-lines is most impressive. I operate our other long standing businesses believing in people, in business integrity, and by creating win-win results for all the people in my life. This is the example shown to our four children and community. I’ve always said "win -win or no deal." As far as possible in life we should become winners. Satisfied customers, come back, confidently bringing along their friends. Canadian made quality you can see, and feel at affordable prices: That's a win/win for everyone.

Cheryl Merigold, CEO "...To whom much is given, much is expected..." This has become a personal mantra, which I am well aquainted with. Life is as much what you do with it, as how you manage the consequences of it. My life has definitely been blessed, but nothing has been taken without time commitments and honest effort. Families, friendships and business all require a "heart and soul" type of energy. The FashionCartelle began as a spark--a creative thought brought to reality from hard work, It was spurned onward with nudges from "hope", a pat on the back from "fate" and an underlying "faith" in what's right. We are proud of what has been accomplished, and believe that you will love our signature clothing line as much as we have come to.

Helen O'Hagan, VP Administration Life has taught me to be thankful for “the little things” and that “half the battle in achieving anything, is believing in it”.  I believe we have fashions that flatter the “in-between” women who want to look and feel great.  After all, we’re “in-between” and we may not be nineteen, but we’re not ninety either!  It’s such a joy working with a team of wonderfully creative, hard-working individuals and cherished friends.  Being blessed with a loving family and strong friendships is all that really matters in the end, with the exception that one must “spice up life” along the way with new experiences.  As Helen Keller once said, “Life is a daring adventure or nothing...”

Maria Pyle, VP Facilities & Customer Service

Hard to imagine that this fashion venture was originally  just a conversation among three friends! It began with how difficult it is to find clothes that actually fit "real women" like ourselves. Something blossomed that night. We’ve since followed our intuition and turned our thoughts and ideas into beautiful long stems of fashionable outfits.

Today we are celebrating our victory with a desirable clothing line sure to appeal to many other women too. Great things have been done with desire, determination and those wonderful friendships that I hold dear to my heart .

The Fashion Cartelle is a motivated group of earnest people who care about giving true fashion value to our customers.  We also believe in the integrity of the individual—so absolutely feel good about who you are and how you look right now! Your self-image needn’t be hammered as clothes shopping experiences should be positive and productive.  If you have ever been judged or ignored by a sales clerk—you know what we are talking about. Our on-line venue helps you do away with unnecessary attitude.  Your relationship with us will be considerate, helpful, flexible, and 110% about keeping you happy.  If something doesn’t work for you, we work at making it right for you.
