The terms of service name the legal entity as ANIAN Clothing Ltd under British Columbia law with jurisdiction in Victoria, and the company blog names founder Paul Long, who grew up in Calgary and started the brand on Vancouver Island in 2013. Corporations Canada returned zero results, so this is a provincial corporation; the BC Registry, OpenCorporates, and any acquisition or investor press could not be checked this session. madeinca.ca lists it as Canadian owned, which is directory corroboration only.

Manufacturing

CA 100%

The site header, page titles, and every product page checked say made in Canada, the 2024 year in review names a Vancouver manufacturing space, and the 2025 review says the company is expanding its Canadian manufacturing to Ontario and Quebec. The vendor does not name its sewing factories or the sock knitter, so the split between BC and other provinces is unknown and the claim rests on the vendor's own statements plus a madeinca.ca listing.

Head office contact is a Victoria number, the contact page lists stores at 575 Johnson Street in Victoria, 2149 W 4th Ave in Vancouver, and 825 17th Ave SW in Calgary, and the careers page posts roles only in those three cities. No headcount is published and LinkedIn could not be checked.

The core fabric is 80 percent post-consumer recycled wool melton, and the 2024 review says the company travelled to Pakistan and Italy to source material from global waste and supply chains, which points to imported recycled wool cloth rather than a Canadian mill. Sail totes, oyster tray buttons, and offcuts are salvaged in BC. The split is an estimate; the vendor names no mill and no fabric origin, and the sock yarn origin is unknown.
