ABOUT US: C’est Normal is a Scandinavian clothing brand creating multifunctional essentials for people who never fit the standard mold. We were born from a creative community that never lived by the usual script. What connected everyone wasn’t fashion. It was a way of seeing the world. A belief that “normal” is something you define yourself, not something handed to you. Our lives didn’t fit traditional boxes and neither did the clothes we wanted to wear, so we began creating pieces that matched our rhythm. Versatile, comfortable, easy to travel with, easy to live in. We’re a fast-growing, profitable e-commerce company with a small, dedicated team. We’re focused on creating high-quality garments that our customers love, wear often, and keep coming back for. Fit, comfort, and consistency are vital, and as our Garment Technical Designer, you’ll play a key role in ensuring every product meets those standards.
