Au Lit Fine Linens

The company says it has been family owned and operated since 1981 and is run today by the founder's daughter, Joanna Goodman, with her husband Miguel. No federal or provincial registry record was retrievable and no acquisition, parent company, or outside investment turned up in searches, so this rests on the vendor's own statements.

Core bedding collections are cut, sewn, and finished at the company's own Montreal factory, which it absorbed and relaunched as Confection MJ Byron in 2023, and down goods are finished in Canada. Towels are made in Portugal and select collections are made in Europe at the mills that weave the fabric. The vendor publishes no volume split, so the Canada to Europe ratio is estimated from its statement that the majority of manufacturing is in Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto.

Fabric is bought already woven from Italian and Portuguese mills, and the fibre behind it is Egyptian and American long staple cotton. Down is finished in Canada and carries Downmark certification from the Down Association of Canada. The vendor publishes no volumes, so the split between European weaving, Egyptian fibre, and American fibre is estimated.

• Sustainability vendor_statement “Our Egyptian and American long-staple cotton is harvested industrially and without exploiting child and forced labour.”
• Sustainability vendor_statement “Our plush, absorbent towels are made in Portugal of 100% long-staple cotton.”
