Caroquilla Limited is a federal corporation controlled by two individuals in Beaumont, Alberta, with a warehouse and showroom in Edmonton and a founder who worked in lingerie retail before starting the brand. The products are Canadian-designed bamboo viscose blends; the vendor never says where they are sewn, and the OEKO-TEX certificate prefix and the fabric point to Asian manufacturing and inputs.

Corporations Canada lists Caroquilla Limited, incorporated under the CBCA on 2020-06-18 and active, with a registered office in Beaumont, Alberta, and an individuals with significant control register confirmed on 2026-08-06 naming Maria Carolina Reynaldo Valencia, holding more than 75 percent of the shares, and Jean-Pierre Michel Madden, both at the same Beaumont address. The vendor's own pages call the company Canadian and woman-owned and name Maria Valencia as founder. No acquisition or investor press could be searched this session.

The vendor says designed in Canada and Canadian-designed but never names a sewing location, and no page checked claims made in Canada. The garments are seamfree knit bamboo viscose blends certified under an OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 label with the SHKO TESTEX prefix, which is issued through the institute's Shanghai office, so the products are almost certainly made in China or elsewhere in Asia. This is a conclusion from indirect evidence; the OEKO-TEX label check needs JavaScript and could not be fetched, and no directory lists the brand.

The only premises named are the warehouse and head office showroom at 3616 98 St NW in Edmonton and a weekly stall at the Bountiful Farmers Market, and the registered office is in nearby Beaumont. It reads as a small single-site business; no headcount is published and LinkedIn could not be checked.

Inputs

28.0 inferred

CA 10% · other 90%

The core fabric is 75 percent viscose bamboo, 20 percent polyamide, and 5 percent spandex, fibres that are spun and knitted almost entirely in Asia, and the vendor names no mill or fabric origin. The store runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform, and orders ship from Edmonton, which is the small Canadian share. The split is an estimate.
