Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 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.

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.

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.
