ACWOM, trading as Active Women, is a small Ontario athleisure label that Sally Daniels launched in November 2022 at age 66, selling eight styles of modal, bamboo rayon, and polyester mesh exercise tops with higher necklines and longer hems for mature women. The vendor states the tops are designed and made in Canada, madeinca.ca places the sewing in Toronto and the owner in Alliston, and the only sales channel is the brand's own Wix site with free shipping within Canada. No corporate registry record was reachable, so ownership rests on the vendor's own account of a single Canadian founder.

Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

The vendor's About page says Sally Daniels, a retired Ontario realtor and part-time Pilates instructor, launched the acWom brand in November 2022, and madeinca.ca describes the business as Canadian owned and a one-woman show. The terms page names Active Women as the operating name under Ontario law with disputes heard in Barrie. Corporations Canada, the Canada's Business Registries search API, and OpenCorporates were all unreachable or blocked during this research, so no registry record of the entity or its owner was seen.

Manufacturing

CA 100%

The home page states the tops are proudly designed and made in Canada, and every product page and the shop page repeat the made in Canada claim. madeinca.ca lists the manufacturing location as Toronto, Ontario. The vendor does not name its sewing contractor, so the CA 1.0 mix is the vendor's statement corroborated by the directory rather than a verified factory record.

This is a single-person business run by the founder from Ontario. The vendor's terms page places the business under Ontario law with a Barrie forum, its phone number is in the 905-252 Alliston exchange, and madeinca.ca says the owner runs it from home in Alliston. No employees beyond the founder are mentioned anywhere.

Product pages describe a modal and spandex body fabric, a rayon made from cotton and bamboo, and a 92 percent polyester 8 percent spandex mesh, but never say where the fabric is milled. This split is an estimate: modal fibre is often spun in Austria, while the finished stretch knits, bamboo rayon, and polyester mesh sold to small Canadian makers are mostly milled in Asia, with a small Canadian share for locally bought yardage and trims and a small US allowance. The storefront runs on Wix, an Israel-based platform, which is counted in OTHER as the brand's only sales channel.
