From South Africa to the World
Beginning in 1997
Charlotte du Toit first established Outpost Original in New York City in 1997, designing products out of her NYC apartment that were manufactured in her home country of South Africa. This marked the beginning of a journey dedicated to blending authentic craftsmanship with timeless design.
Timeless Design Meets Craftsmanship
Crafting Luxury in Montreal
Since then, the company has evolved into a Montreal-based manufacturing studio, where all furniture, pillows, throws, and most accessories are made in-house. This hands-on approach ensures optimal quality control, allowing us to provide high-end luxury items that meet the highest standards of craftsmanship.
We collaborate extensively with designers on custom pieces for projects and create exclusive lines for major retailers in the United States.
