Now more than ever, local businesses need our support! It’s not only great to support Canadian fashion brands and producers, but 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. 💚
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

Sundée Himburg
Blackbird studios in Hamilton Ontario. Amazing designs. I have five of their dresses and I love them
Angie
Ang Hill is a women’s clothing brand in Edmonton. Ethically made by hand with cute little love messages on each piece! Also, have a new kid’s line, little hill 🙂
LPD
I love Birdie and Bub, based in New Brunswick. Lovely made in Canada options for littles and ladies. Great quality and nice designs.
Katie Lo
Muttonhead in Toronto!
Mackenzie
May I also suggest Lennard Taylor from Winnipeg? https://lennardtaylor.com/
All items are made in Winnipeg, if an item no longer fits/rips/stained, Lennard will make it into something else for you. When it’s no longer able to be made into something else, you can return it and he will incorporate it into his art pieces.
Tim
Thanks for this list! Might I also suggest Province of Canada. They’re products are all made in Canada and super high quality! Plus they recently opened a shop in downtown Toronto.

Becky
This list is fantastic, thank you so much for putting it together!
Willow
Hello lovely My Green Closet people! I’ve been a watcher on youtube for a couple years, but first time commenter.*blush* I like shopping Canadian made so I just have a few possible additions, if you like and can muster the will to edit this for the 40th time. Hope something in this helps someone! I had to double space to make it legible, sorry.
Erdaine – women’s merino knitwear, made in Canada
Linen Ladder – Oeko-tex certified linen clothing and accessories. I ordered a few months ago and the clothing arrived with no plastic packaging except for the outside mailer. I think the quality is really good, for the little my ‘random person on the internet’ opinion is worth! Not labelled plus size, but quite loose cuts. Made in Canada, sustainable materials.
Econica – Women’s wear, accessories and lingerie made of cashmere, bamboo and organic cotton. Made in Canada, sustainable materials, plus sizes.
Nights in White Flannel – Cottage industry making flannel and cotton pajamas for all ages. Made in Canada, plus sizes.
Kamiks – Shoes and boots, made exclusively in Canada and US. Offer rubber boot recycling. Made in Canada, low waste initiatives.

Bambee apparel https://www.bambeeapparel.com

It would be great to have information as to where the materials including raw materials are not sourced from countries using forced labour as an example.
Verena Erin
The important this is not avoiding certain countries (forced labour unfortunately happens everywhere, including Canadian and US factories), but hopefully buying from brands you trust are ethically sourcing and fairly paying everyone in their supply chain. The best thing to do to try and ensure this is ask questions about their material sourcing and manufacturing and see how transparent the brand is willing to be!
Marcela Saitua
Great list – but, I have to say that I am going a little stir crazy. I need clothes for a 12-year-old boy. So many places to shop for women’s, men’s and baby clothes. Most sites have kid’s clothing sizes that only go up to toddler sizes or, if you’re lucky, size 6/7. Any suggestion for a 12-year-old?
LVS
A wonderful store that focuses on Canadian-made clothing and accessories is Victoire. They have closed their Ossington location in Toronto but still have a brick and mortar in Ottawa, and an excellent online store.
Valentina Duran
Thanks for sharing this list! 🙂 I have another brand that I want to share as I love it. 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

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 🙂
Erica
Dish and DU/ER Denim https://duer.ca

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.

Meredith

Loxy
I think The Sleep Shirt fits some of your categories: http://www.thesleepshirt.com/about/

Verena Erin
Oh yes! I know of them, can’t believe I forgot 🤦♀️ 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. 🙂
