Montreal, QC CA · quartz-co.com
Quartz Co. is the Montreal outerwear brand of Quartz Nature Inc., originally founded in Victoriaville, Quebec in 1997 and acquired in 2015 by brothers Jean-Philippe, Francois-Xavier, and Guillaume Robert. Its down parkas are made at the company's own Montreal factory with a lifetime repair program, while lighter jackets, raincoats, and some accessories are made internationally at certified partner factories, mostly in China. Down comes from Allied Feather + Down, a US supplier whose own disclosures put roughly three quarters of its down at a Chinese origin and most of the rest from Central and Eastern Europe.

All of Quartz Co.'s down is supplied and certified by Allied Feather + Down, a company headquartered in Montebello, California, whose own sourcing page says about three quarters of the world's down comes from China with most of the remainder from Central and Eastern Europe; Quartz Co. does not disclose which of Allied's farms supply its own down. Shell fabrics are recycled polyester, recycled nylon, wool, and organic cotton with certifications but no stated country of origin, so that share is assumed to follow the same mostly Asian sourcing pattern as the international manufacturing. The storefront runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform, which is a minor and not materially weighted factor.
