Mercy House

What Mercy House does

Mercy House is a Montreal, Canada-based direct-to-consumer fashion brand founded in 2017 that designs, produces, and sells minimalist handmade apparel and collaborative graphic clothing collections. The company operates through a Shopify-powered e-commerce storefront (mercyhousestudio.com) and ships globally, with primary markets in Canada and the United States. Its product catalog spans women's (tops, bottoms, loungewear, accessories), men's (tops, bottoms, accessories), and kids' apparel, organized into seasonal themed collections (Dream Warriors, Over The Breaks, L'Petit Plaisir, Fleece, Cave, Press Play) and limited-edition collaborations (Mercy House X Desertedinurban, Mercy House X GibGab). Core products include crop tops, mesh tanks, cargo pants, hoodies, coach jackets, and bowling shirts, with unit prices ranging from approximately $90 to $170.

The underlying technology stack is built on the Shopify e-commerce platform, integrating Shopify Planet for carbon-neutral shipping that calculates delivery emissions based on weight, shipping method, and distance and purchases verified carbon removal credits from projects including Climeworks and 44.01. The site supports a bilingual English/French experience via Weglot and offers free shipping thresholds for Canadian/US orders above $250 CAD and international orders above $350 USD. Distribution channels include the direct Shopify storefront, a Montreal-based studio pickup location at 5425 Ave Casgrain (Suite 524), and a wholesale/private label B2B service for other brands. Customer acquisition relies on Instagram organic social, an email newsletter offering 15% off first orders, and bilingual content marketing.

Revenue mechanics are anchored in one-time direct apparel sales with a complementary wholesale/private label service; no subscription, recurring, or licensing revenue model is in place. Pricing is unit-based across tiers (tops $90–$138, bottoms $127–$170, outerwear $157–$166, hoodies $144–$162), with gift cards available from $36.27. The company is privately held, has no disclosed external funding rounds, no parent or subsidiary relationships, and operates with 1–10 employees, indicating a small founder- or boutique-team-owned operation.
