About Mixed Results – Spreading Tie-Dye in Canada
Welcome to Mixed Results, your home for handmade tie-dye clothing in Canada. I’m Steve, the artist and creator behind the brand, and my mission is simple: to spread authentic tie-dye while keeping fashion sustainable, ethical, and fun.
I grew up surrounded by music, movement, and colour. My parents were part of the ‘60s and ‘70s counterculture, and some of my earliest memories are of Grateful Dead road trips and swirling tie-dye shirts that represented freedom, community, and rebellion.
But here in Ottawa, I rarely saw the same vibrant, intricate tie-dyes I remembered. That changed when my wife volunteered at our son’s school workshop. Watching the kids play with colour sparked something in me, so I decided to try tie-dye for the very first time. From the moment the dyes bloomed across that shirt, I was hooked. Not just on the results, but on the process, the chemistry, and the endless creative possibilities.
That first shirt grew into a passion, and that passion became Mixed Results—a brand built to spread tie-dye across Canada and beyond through bold, handcrafted, and sustainable apparel.
Why Choose Mixed Results Tie-Dye?
At Mixed Results, every piece of clothing is:
- Handmade & One-of-a-Kind – Each garment is individually tied and dyed in my Ottawa studio. No two are ever the same.
- Eco-Friendly Tie-Dye – I use low-impact fiber reactive dyes and room-temperature processes to minimize environmental impact while producing bold, washfast colours.
- Canadian-Made Fashion – Proudly sourcing blanks, materials, and services from local Canadian suppliers whenever possible.
- Upcycled Clothing – Transforming pre-loved garments into unique tie-dye apparel, reducing textile waste and giving quality fabrics a second life.
Whether it’s a hoodie, tote bag, or upcycled tee, each piece is wearable art—made with care, intention, and soul.
