Smash + Tess

The vendor says it was founded and is run by mother and daughter Ashley and Teresa Freeborn, and press describes it as woman-owned; no investor or acquirer surfaced. OrgBook BC lists Smash and Tess Dreamwear Inc. as an active BC company, but the registry does not show shareholders, and Corporations Canada returns no federal record; OpenCorporates and the BC corporate summary itself could not be checked today.

The vendor describes a hybrid model with production partners in Canada and China, and each product page states its origin: 19 of 74 current product lines say made in Canada (the core rompers, romperalls, and several dresses) and 55 say made in China. The split is our estimate from line count; the Canada-made rompers are the bestsellers, so the revenue share may lean more Canadian.

The signature fabric is a rayon-from-bamboo and cotton blend, with lyocell and cotton for other styles; the vendor names no mill, and the China-made lines use fabric and trims sourced near the factory. Bamboo rayon is almost always milled in Asia, so materials are treated as mostly OTHER, with a small Canadian share for local trims and the Shopify storefront.
