Prana Vida

The Our Story page says the founder, Amelia, started Prana Vida in 2013, the terms of service name Prana Vida itself as the website operator, and no parent company, investor or acquisition is mentioned anywhere on the site. No registry could confirm the legal entity: the Corporations Canada search only returns a blank form without a browser session, the Manitoba Companies Office requires an account to search, and the Canada's Business Registries service did not resolve, so this rests on the vendor's own account plus a directory listing that calls it Canadian owned.

• Our Story – Prana Vida vendor_statement “I started Prana Vida back in 2013 because I couldn't find a source of consciously made clothing that I truly trusted and loved.”
• Terms of service – Prana Vida vendor_statement “This website is operated by Prana Vida.”
• Activewear: Prana Vida 🍁 | Made in CA directory “Founded in 2013 by Amelia, Prana Vida is a Canadian company that specializes in eco-friendly activewear and swimwear.”

The vendor states its clothing is made in small batches in Vancouver by two contract manufacturers it has a personal relationship with, and product pages repeat that garments are crafted in small batches in Vancouver, Canada. A blog post explains sewing left Winnipeg because flatlock stitching equipment was not available locally, and no overseas or US production is mentioned for any line.

• Our Story – Prana Vida vendor_statement “Our clothing is now made in Vancouver in partnership with two wonderful manufacturers.”
• The French Terry Bamboo High Rise Leggings – Prana Vida vendor_statement “Our leggings are crafted in small batches in Vancouver, Canada.”
• Is Sustainable Fashion Possible? The Hard Truth, and What We are Doing vendor_statement “We aren't able to make our clothing in Winnipeg (it's made in Vancouver, as flintlock stitching technology isn't available locally)”

Every page of the site says the company is based in Winnipeg, the contact page lists weekday office hours there, and the founder authors the blog. No other office, warehouse or staff location is mentioned, so this is treated as a single-site business with its contract sewing in Vancouver counted under manufacturing.

The linen line is stated to use flax imported from Europe, but the bamboo rayon, cotton, spandex and recycled polyester that make up most of the range have no disclosed origin, and those fibres are overwhelmingly milled in Asia, so the bulk of inputs is placed in OTHER. Linen items are roughly a quarter of the catalogue, hence the EU share; the small CA share covers trims, packaging and the Shopify platform, and the split is an estimate rather than a published figure.

• The Linen High-Waisted Shorts (100% linen) – Prana Vida vendor_statement “The flax used in our fabric is imported from Europe, cultivated without irrigation, and is GMO free.”
• The French Terry Bamboo High Rise Leggings – Prana Vida vendor_statement “66% rayon from bamboo | 28% cotton | 6% spandex.”
