Hi! Welcome to our education page. Here we breakdown our pricing. Where things are made and why and give you a more look into the backend of US.

CANADA: It's true! Lot's of our pieces are made right here at home. Although this beautiful country doesn't have a ton of manufacturers and very few who work with delicates or wovens, we do try and keep our manufacturing close to home. If we can make it here, we will! Printing, tagging and embroidery all happen in Canada as well.

USA: A lot of our crewnecks are made in the USA. LA specifically has a really amazing garment district that specializes in cozy sweats. When working with manufacturers abroad we always make sure that they are paying their workers the correct wage for their state and treating them right. We buy our loungewear from manufacturers who supply crewnecks to a variety of different companies, we then import it, customize it, print, tag and embroider it all in Canada.

OVERSEAS: We have began to manufacture some items overseas that can't be made in either Canada or the USA at an affordable price or because the facilities aren't available. If we are manufacturing overseas, a lot of research goes into it to make sure that the manufacturers we are using are certified in eco friendly materials and are not only treating their workers right and well but also paying them fair wages for the countries they live in.

CUT & SEW: As you can see we aren't inexpensive. But, making things in Canada, with mostly eco conscious materials and with ethical labour is expensive. Our cost of our item not only includes how much we pay to make it but also how much it costs to keep our business running.

LOUNGEWEAR: Our loungewear is bought through manufacturers who make loungewear in bulk for multiple different retailers. This not only ables us to lower our prices for these items but also give you more variety, options and colourways. We always customize the items with designs to make them US. Because of this we are able to offer our lounge pieces at a lower price than if we were to cut and sew it.

  • Once the fibres are separated, they are assembled into bales spun into yarn, which is then dyed and knit or woven into fabric
