Factors
Ownership
100.0 inferredCA 100%
The terms of service name the legal entity as 9330-5639 Québec Inc. (Design.Me) at 680 Ave Lépine, Dorval, QC, and Corporations Canada returns zero results for the number, Design.Me and DESIGNME, so it is a Quebec provincial corporation. The Registraire des entreprises du Québec, OpenCorporates, SEDAR+ and the shareholder register could not be checked, and EDGAR full-text search returns nothing; no acquisition, investor or parent turned up in press, the November 2024 release quotes Safir Shnayderman as CEO and co-founder, and The CANADA List and madeinca.ca call it Canadian owned, so it is treated as a founder-held private company.

Manufacturing
100.0 reportedCA 100%
The vendor's about page and FAQ state that all products are proudly made in Canada, and The CANADA List and madeinca.ca place production in Montreal. The vendor does not name the plant or say whether it owns it or uses a contract manufacturer, so it may be a Quebec contract filler; no second country of manufacture was found.

The FAQ says the company is Canadian with headquarters in Montreal, Quebec, and the terms and privacy pages give the Dorval address; Canadian orders ship from a Montreal facility. US, UK and French orders ship from facilities in Missouri, England and the Netherlands, and the professional site serves US salons only, so a small US sales presence is assumed; the split is an estimate since no headcount by country is published.

The vendor says its products are vegan and made from natural ingredients but discloses no ingredient or packaging origin, so the split is an estimate that assumes salon-grade surfactants, botanical oils and bottles are mostly imported. The store runs on Shopify and the brand also sells through salons and retailers, so there is no single platform dependence.
