Made in Canada - For Real

What Does Made in Canada Really Mean?
This Fashion Revolution Week, we’re reclaiming the narrative on Made in Canada.

At DAUB, we've been designing and manufacturing in Vancouver since 2010 — proudly producing every garment here in Canada for 15 years this October. We know firsthand the pride and the challenges that come with that commitment.

But with the current U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, there’s growing confusion about what “Made in Canada” actually means. We’re seeing more and more brands blurring the lines — calling themselves Canadian while outsourcing production overseas. In a world full of greenwashing and vague claims, we believe it’s time to speak up.

That’s why this week, we’re joining a collective of incredible Canadian, women-owned brands for Fashion Revolution Week 2025. This year’s theme is Think Global, Act Local — and we’re coming together to shed light on what real local production looks like.

 

      

Every brand in this group truly designs and produces right here in Canada. We work on a small scale, with intention and care — not because it’s trendy, but because it’s the right thing to do.

At DAUB, that means:

  • Using sustainable, OEKO-TEX Standard fabrics chosen for their softness, durability, and responsible production.

  • Keeping all design, production, and warehousing here in Vancouver and working with local pattern makers, cutters and sewers.

  • Building our business model around ethics, not shortcuts. 
         

      

We know fashion is a global industry — and always will be — but transparency and integrity matter. A Canadian company isn’t necessarily Made in Canada, and it’s up to us as brands and consumers to demand better, clearer information about each company. There are items that make sense to make overseas, and we're not dissing those that do - however, we are asking for honesty and transparency.

To celebrate this important week and our shared values, we’re offering something special. We're pairing up with SIX MADE IN CANADA BRANDS to share our stories and our commitment.  Use code SHOPLOCAL at checkout for a unique thank-you from each participating brand.

✨ Meet the women-led businesses redefining what local fashion truly means — each with their own story, craft, and commitment to doing things right.
