A Canadian company may have been founded or designed by Canadians but it offshores all of it's production in countries that may not have basic labor or environment laws.

Made in Canada brands DO THIS:

1. Produce their products on Canadian soil. All our products are manufactured in Toronto.

2. Ensures employees are under safe working conditions. Canadian workers are regulated by labor laws.

3. Respects the environment by not dumping. Fashion companies are notorious for dumping excess clothes, dyes, in landfills, oceans, etc. Made in Canada brands are regulated by environmental laws to prevent this.

4. Reduces carbon footprint by cutting out long shipping distances. We ship straight from our Toronto factory to your Canadian residence.

Offshoring production allows many large companies to get away with paying employees unfair wages, and engage in practices that are harmful to the environment.

These companies then claim they are a "Canadian brand" which can be confusing as a consumer.

Now that you know this, keep an eye open when you see language like "Designed in Canada", "Canadian roots", etc, and dig deeper into where the products are made.

We're very proud to produce in Canada and support our economy, by employing Canadians and giving back to local community initiatives.
