Wuxly Movement is a Toronto-founded, animal-free winter outerwear brand launched in 2015 by James Yurichuk and Anthony DeBartolo, who say they took no outside investors and kept full control of the company. Its parkas and jackets are manufactured in small batches in the Toronto and Mississauga area, while technical fabrics such as Sorona insulation and recycled nylon and polyester are sourced from Blue Sign-approved mills the company says are not available locally. It sells direct through wuxly.com from its Mississauga office and warehouse.

Corporations Canada's federal registry returned no results for a search of Wuxly or Wuxly Movement, and the Ontario Business Registry search blocked automated access, so registry confirmation of the legal entity and its owners was not possible. A 2019 Retail Insider profile quotes founders James Yurichuk and Anthony DeBartolo saying the company took no outside investors and ran with total control of the vision, and no acquisition, parent, or outside investor turned up in other searches.

Wuxly says it sources its Sorona insulation and its recycled nylon and polyester from Blue Sign-approved and Oeko-Tex certified mills, and states plainly that there are few local options for technical textiles and none that meet the performance it needs, implying most of its fabric comes from mills outside Canada. Sorona is a bio-based fiber developed by a US company, and the storefront runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform. No country of origin is disclosed for the mills themselves, so this split is an estimate weighted toward overseas sourcing.
