Now more than ever, local businesses need our support!
Far too many Canadian businesses have been hard-hit by the pandemic and are struggling. Also, supporting small business has a beneficial ripple though our economy – a BC study found that local businesses recirculated 2.6x more revenue back into the economy compared to chains!
So if you’re looking to add some pieces to your wardrobe, shopping from Canadian clothing brands can not only give you beautiful, unique pieces but also support amazing independent fashion labels, and a Canadian made clothing industry. Plus most of these brands incorporate sustainability into their business and products so you’re making a kinder choice for the planet too. π
I loved putting this list together and found some new brands I hope to support soon. I know you’ll discover some great Canadian slow fashion brands too! x

Indiarts Collective, a vancouver based social enterprise that offers handmade, ethical products co-create with artisans in South America. Every product is so well made and support traditional and indigenous artisans in Latin America. Check them out! http://www.indiartscollective.com

Hi! You could add Todayβs Modern BΓ©bΓ©, Second of November, Petits Villains and Happy Apple to the kids list.
Brit
Please add Wolfe Co. Apparel and Goods. All of their clothes are made in Toronto and they outsource accessory production to local artisans across Canada.

This is such a great list! I’m finding a lot of companies selling underwear sell bralette but not a supportive bra. Does anyone have any suggestions for me??
Verena Erin
Have you looked at my bra roundup? https://mygreencloset.com/sustainable-bras/ There are some more supportive options π
Mackenzie
Thought of another one: Ola Dubois in Victoria uses upcycled materials.
Mackenzie
Lennard Taylor, EMK Clothing, Made by Josephine all in Winnipeg are other ones to add.
Naomi
Great List!
May I suggest Oona Clothing – based in Vancouver, making underclothes for all sizes and genders. Tina sources fabric locally and hand makes the clothing, including silk screens.
http://www.oonaclothing.com/blog/
Meredith
PixieMood has excellent vegan material/cruelty-free bags!
Loxy
I think The Sleep Shirt fits some of your categories: http://www.thesleepshirt.com/about/
Loxy
Thought of two more: https://anianmfg.com/ and https://www.alderapparel.com/
Verena Erin
These are both great! Thanks for sharing!
Natalie
This is a fantastic list, thank you! I would suggest adding Smoking Lily, a personal favourite. Victoria based with a shop in Vancouver, they use sustainable fabrics and deadstock, design and sew everything themselves, and strive for a zero waste manufacturing process.
Verena Erin
Oh yes! I know of them, can’t believe I forgot π€¦ββοΈ Thanks!
Abby
IndiArts Collective is a great one based in Canada. All of the products are ethically made and traded from communities in Latin America, with an emphasis on selling mostly bags. π
