Free Label

The about and team pages say the brand was founded in 2015 by Jess Sternberg, who is listed as owner and lives in Vancouver, and every page calls it a Canadian, independent, family run business. The site never names a corporation; the terms page gives a Toronto street address, and Corporations Canada returns one hit, The Free Label Inc of Richmond Hill, whose directors and controlling shareholders are unrelated people, so the operating entity is likely a BC or Ontario provincial company that could not be checked this session. madeinca.ca lists it as Canadian owned, which is directory corroboration only.

The about page says every garment is cut and sewn in Canada with factory partners within a ten minute drive of the Vancouver office, the FAQ says garments are cut and sewn in Vancouver, the fabric page says bamboo pieces are knit, dyed, cut, and sewn in Toronto, and the sampled legging is labelled made in Vancouver. The vendor names no factories, so the Vancouver versus Toronto split is unknown; madeinca.ca corroborates both cities.

The FAQ says most cotton and bamboo materials come from India and the USA and are knit and dyed in Toronto, the tariff page says Canadian milled fabric with imported yarns, the fabric page says Pima cotton and alpaca are grown, spun, and knit in Peru, and linen is milled in China from French flax; lyocell origin is not stated. The split credits Canada for the Toronto knitting and dyeing on the core bamboo line and is an estimate, since the vendor publishes no volumes by fabric. The store runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform, and sells direct only.
