Factors

Ownership

100.0 reported

CA 100%

The vendor's About Us page states it takes pride in its Canadian ownership and history, and no acquisition, foreign parent, or private equity investor turned up in vendor materials or the sister brand Aquatherm Canada, which shares navigation and a Shopify storefront with Santana Canada. Corporations Canada's federal search requires an interactive form submission that could not be completed with the available fetch tools, and Quebec's business registry (REQ) returned a 403 to automated access, so registry confirmation of the legal entity was not obtained.

Manufacturing

EU 89% · other 11%

The About Us page states boots are designed in Canada and made in Europe with European components. Product spec pages list a Country of Origin field for each style; of nine best-selling styles checked, six are Italy and two are Portugal, and one, Marlyna, is China. The split above follows that product-level sample rather than the brand's blanket Europe claim.

The vendor places its history and heritage in Sherbrooke, Quebec since 1973, and its customer service hours are quoted in Eastern time. No other office, design studio, or warehouse location is disclosed, and no second site turned up in any source checked, so people are assumed to be concentrated at the Sherbrooke HQ.

Product pages list Italy as the faux fur country of origin on most styles, matching the countries where the boots themselves are made, so leather and trim are assumed to be sourced in the same Italian and Portuguese facilities that do final assembly, with the one China-made style assumed to use materials sourced there too. The direct storefront runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform. The vendor does not separately disclose raw material sourcing apart from country of origin, so this split is an estimate.
