Before diving into your favourite brands to shop, ask yourself, are any of them sustainable and Canadian? It’s always great to make a conscious effort to support local brands that strive to reduce their carbon footprint.

Showing love for companies who prioritize these efforts helps to reduce the harmful effects of the fast-fashion industry on the earth.
Here are sustainable Canadian brands to have on your radar.
Vitae
Vitae is a Canadian apparel company founded in 2016. The brand ensures high-quality and affordable clothing, without sacrificing sustainable and ethical manufacturing practices. Found in some of its swimwear, RecoTex is an eco-friendly polyester that is actually made entirely of recycled water bottles. How cool is that?
Buck Naked Soap Company
Buck Naked Soaps was born out of necessity when founders Rina and John’s son developed skin irritations from traditional baby products. Realizing they needed something different, the parents began their creation of all-natural, vegan, handcrafted skincare products that are committed to being chemical-free and only using purely natural ingredients. Enjoy lovely scents of soaps and bath products.

Kotn
This B Corp Certified Corporation, Kotn, has ensured sustainable methods are in place throughout the manufacturing process. The brand has begun a project to ensure that 100% of the natural fibers that are used are certified organic within the next five years to establish a more sustainable future.

Its garment construction takes longer since products are made in small batches with less excess stock, unlike a fast-fashion production line. It uses plant-based fabrics and materials, biodegradable packaging, and green solutions for all orders.
Frank and Oak
Frank and Oak support the thought that sustainable stores need sustainable foundations. The brand begins by building its stores in partnerships with Canadian artisans that use recycled materials. Not only is the apparel sustainable, Frank and Oak make a conscious effort to create as little waste as possible even when renovating stores by reusing decor to make modifications.
Pure Balanxed
Pure Balanxed chooses its fabrics specifically for its sustainability, durability, and softness. Although it may make the manufacturing process longer, it’s creating a positive impact on the world. The clothing line is designed to be timeless and carries an important message on each piece.
Encircled
Encircled understands that the transportation of clothing between countries during the production process overseas creates quite a large carbon footprint for companies. To act against this, the brand reduces its footprint by knitting and dying over 50% of its fabrics in Toronto. The entire studio also uses recycled packaging, FSC-certified paper, and eco-friendly cleaning products.
Made For The People
Made For The People sells bamboo straws to aid in the reduction of plastic pollution and waste in the environment. The straws even come with a wool cleaning brush and a cotton storage bag.

LEZÉ The Label focuses on creating garments that are just as comfy as pj’s but also super chic to offer a beautiful and sustainable line of workleisure. The company uses up to 25 post-consumer recycled plastic bottles in the clothing, plus for every 100 tons of nylon that it regenerates, LEZÉ saves 700 barrels of crude oil, avoids 571 tons of CO2 emission, and reduces global warming impact by up to 80% compared to virgin nylon.
Kuwalla Tee
Kuwalla Tee prides itself on being eco-friendly and minimizing waste, without compromising quality, style, comfort, and affordability. All of the brand’s packaging is made from recyclable and biodegradable material and it’s also a proud partner of 1% for the planet!

Hudson’s Bay is in the works of creating a marketplace to support local businesses while increasing the amount of product offered at the bay.com.
Last year it was announced that HBC would be focusing on ways to grow its online presence after it was revealed that some locations were to close due to unpaid rent. Since then, the company has launched a new e-commerce platform and is tweaking its loyalty program.
The marketplace will serve as a virtual space where customers can shop local brands, artists, and of course, The Bay’s products too.
The majority of these businesses will fall under categories that already exist at Hudson’s Bay. However, there will also be a handful of new product lines added which include pets, sports, health, and outdoor equipment.
The president and CEO of Hudson’s Bay, Iain Nairn, stated to the Toronto Star that the company is planning to support over 300 new businesses.
There are a few requirements for Canadian brands who wish to be showcased on the site. Businesses who want to be involved must have direct to consumer shipping throughout Canada and available inventory on-hand.
If you’re a Canadian business and meet these requirements, be sure to apply!
Although no specific date has been given for the Hudson’s Bay marketplace, it’s said to be fully available sometime next month.
