Top 10 Canada Made Clothing Brands

Last Updated on March 5, 2024

While Canada might not be known globally for our garment industry, a surprising amount of clothing production still happens here! By purchasing clothing made in Canada you are keeping money in the community and supporting local businesses, Canadian sewists, garment workers, and the growth of the fashion industry in Canada.

Here are our favourite sustainably-minded and made-in-Canada clothing brands from coast to coast:

Anne Mulaire

Looking for comfy, sustainable staples? Be sure to check out Anne Mulaire. Founder and designer Andréanne has successfully built an inclusive brand with deep environmental values, that celebrates her Anishinaabe/French Métis heritage.

Anne Mulaire is proudly Canadian made and has excellent transparency around their supply chain and manufacturing. They even use fabrics which are made in Canada! All their clothing is made in-house in their vertically-owned factory which allows them to produce small batches and made-to-order garments and also means they can ensure living wages for all employees.

We especially love their winter leggings (they’re the only brand we’ve found who makes sustainable leggings for Canadian winters!) and their zero waste collection which repurposes remnants and fabric scraps into new styles.
