Our factories are in sight, and in mind. In fact, they’re located less than 60km from our Toronto studio.
Producing locally means we can:
Oversee garment quality down to every last stitch.
Ensure our workers are happy, paid fairly and are respected under safe working conditions.
Reduce our carbon footprint, cutting out unnecessary shipping and freight.
Create local jobs, resparking love and appreciation for apparel craftsmanship.
Zip down to our factories whenever we fancy, and have a coffee with the talented women that make your clothes.
Not only are our factories subject to the high labour standards of the Province of Ontario, we also have each factory sign our Ethical Code of Conduct checklist, to go above what’s required by law. Learn more here.
