ABOUT

Welcome to Alex Mac Design, a small, queer-owned and operated business in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

My name is Alex, and I am the owner of Alex Mac Design. My goal is to create an inclusive and affordable line of Underwear, Swimwear, and Apparel, rooted in sustainable practices and dedicated to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. All products in my shop feature my own original, hand-drawn patterns, designed for individuality and self-expression, and inspired by your Pride, Kinks, and Fantasies!

I started my business selling just a handful of my drawings and designs through Etsy, which has grown steadily to where I am at today. Although I continue to operate my Etsy Shop, I am unbelievably proud to be running my very own website, alexmacdesign.com. I now offer a wide range of underwear and lingerie, including Briefs, Boxer Briefs, and Thongs; Swim Trunks and Swim Briefs; and Crewneck T-Shirts. I am also currently in the process of building my brand to include Men’s Thongs, Women’s and Men’s Jock Straps, and much, much more!

I’m proud to use environmentally sustainable practices to ensure that the product you purchase is made to last, while reducing environmental impacts and standing as a symbol of sustainability. Every product available in my shop is made to order, which means that I carry no additional stock, and can therefore limit product waste to nearly zero. Additionally, for every order placed through my website, a portion of profits go toward funding carbon removal companies such as Grassroots Carbon and Mast Reforestation. The people at Grassroots Carbon are working directly with farmers to improve the ecological health of soils and build sustainable land management practices. The team at Mast Reforestation is working towards regenerating healthy, resilient, and climate-adapted forests that have been previously lost to wildfires.

While I’m extremely passionate about environmental and social justice, I’m also passionate about providing my customers with affordable, high-quality products. I'm currently working with three small businesses to manufacture my products, which operate in Canada, the United States, and China. All underwear and swimwear products are printed using Dye Sublimation Printing, which prints the design directly into the fibers of premium fabrics, rather than on top of the fabric, resulting in a unique, durable finish. Once the fabric is printed, each piece is hand cut and sewn for a custom product, made just for you. 

Alex Mac Design is more than just a small business to me, it’s a creative outlet, a passion project, and a way for me to share my art with the world! I truly believe Underwear, Swimwear, and Apparel can be a fantastic way to express and explore yourself, and I’m beyond excited to provide you with a brand dedicated to your journey of self-expression.

When you purchase from Alex Mac Design, you can feel good knowing that you’re purchasing a sustainably made, custom product AND supporting queer artists, small businesses, and environmental and social initiatives!
