Our mission
Montloup is a Montréal-based company whose mission is to shine a light on the local textile industry by providing support solutions for brands and manufacturers.
Behind Montloup
Lila Rousselet
In love with fibres, colour, and knitwear, Lila grew up in a world where textiles have always played a defining role.
She founded Montloup in 2018. With experience both as a production manager and a business owner, she expanded in 2025 to offer dedicated support services for textile industry players.
This dual expertise — bridging design and manufacturing — gives her a deep understanding of each stakeholder’s reality and allows her to provide concrete, tailored solutions.
Still driven by her passion for textiles and fashion, Lila also shares her knowledge as an instructor at the Centre des textiles contemporains de Montréal, where she helps train the next generation of the industry.
In a few words
2018-2025
Originally a knitting mill
Before shifting to consulting, Montloup was a company specialized in creating and designing knitted fabrics, proudly made in Canada with respect for both people and the environment.
Montloup would not have come to life without the support of Joe Leb, president of Parisian knitting and the company’s long-time partner. Lila often speaks of him as her mentor — and rightly so — as he taught her a great deal about fabric manufacturing.
Since 2018
Our commitments
Since the company was founded, we have been continuously working to improve our manufacturing processes.
Although our support offer is not solely aimed at companies wishing to improve their environmental impact, it will always be part of our commitment. A small additional challenge: to convince as many people as possible to join in!
Throughout the years
Network and community
Montloup, through Lila, is also very present in the Montreal fashion ecosystem. Lila is part of "la communauté de pratique mode textile et habillement" of "Concertation Montréal" and is a member of Mmode. Montloup also supports the Fibershed Québec initiative. Internationally, Montloup is a member of Textile exchange. In her free time, Lila is involved with the Repair Café Montréal, a community initiative that offers free repairs for objects and clothing.
