Making a Statement
The brand works on three focal points:
- Design with a point of view.
- Empowering fits.
- Continuously reinventing themselves.
Design with a Point of View
The brand consistently makes bold statements while upholding classic looks. Experience is knowledge and this brand hosts both of those. The result: a 'maximalist' art portrayed through fashion. Colours like the Foliage Green or Dazzle Pink are great examples of this. Creating patterns and mixing them amongst other pattern or standout colours, creates a unique piece for each wearer.

Empowering Fit
We see many women pass through our fitting rooms to try on Joseph Ribkoff. I can attest that their fits are made for women of all shapes and sizes. They offer empowering images with fabrics and, as their site describes, craftsmanship. With a size range of 2 to 24, the inclusivity is found in the way the pieces make women feel. Offering comfort and elegance with their variety of styles both formal and casual.
All that glimmers! This dress felt fabulous on and fit perfect! Style number 223711.
Continuous Reinvention
Joseph Ribkoff has been designing clothes for over 60 years. Yet, the fashion industry is anything but stagnant. Every collection comes with a new slate. They embody the ability to change and grow, constantly reinventing their designs, fabrics, environmental and social processes.

Brand Heritage
In 1957, the brand was created, first designing women's dresses. By 1978 the need for expansion was imminent. In 1992, the brand expanded to the European market. In the years following, Joseph Ribkoff won the Drapers Award for Womenswear Brand of the Year on numerous occasions. 2017 celebrated The brands 60th anniversary. 2020 saw the incorporation of environmentally friendly fabrics, and 2021 was the launch of the brands occasion wear collection, Joseph Ribkoff Signature.

Code of Fair Practice
Cranberry Collective tries to familiarize themselves with all details regarding ethics with the labels they carry. Joseph Ribkoff utilizes both their own operations and outsources to vendors. The brand has the expectation that their production processes are safe, ensuring an equal environment for all. Labour regulations are intact, as are anti-discrimination and fair working conditions. Joseph Ribkoff is currently in the process of creating a sustainable and socially responsible sourcing program for their raw materials. A code of fair practice is a part of the continuous growth the company makes.
