Canada-USA Tariffs

We are currently not regularly shipping to the US. 
Hear from me directly on why that is.

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THESE TARIFFS?
A tariff is a tax or a levy placed on the importer of a product. This means if your country is imposing tariffs, you - the customer and importer of the product - will be taxed.

The US administration recently announced they will impose new 50% tariffs on products coming from Canada (even CUSMA-compliant products) on August 19th. We believe this is an illegal and immoral action. We will not pay the 50% tariffs and fund the administration. So we will open up sales to our American friends for one day on August 2nd before the new tariffs are implemented on August 19th.

We manufacture all of our garments proudly in Canada and ship out of our Canadian west coast fulfillment center.  If you are purchasing our product from outside of Canada, you will be responsible for the duties and tariff's collected by your country during import. Please note: we are not responsible for the duties and tariff's collected by your country during import, and we don't have the ability to refund these costs even if your order is returned.

As of right now, what we know about the Canada-USA tariffs is that due to the yarn forward rule in the CUSMA agreement, even Canadian made clothing is not exempt from tariffs. Since Canada does not have a yarn spinning industry, and US and Mexican yarns are few and far between, we are not able to comply with CUSMA to avoid hefty tariffs despite using Canadian MILLED fabric with imported yarns. Due to our proximity to CUSMA, we are able to apple for an export allotment that is excused from duties and tariffs. This is a very time consuming and expensive export process that we can only do once in a while as we are a small team with limited resources.

As of August 29th 2025, the de minimis exemption is no longer in place, meaning an order of any size is subject to clearance fees, tariffs and import taxes. Unfortunately, we do not have the infrastructure to comply with these new regulations on a regular basis as we are a small team and the paper work required to ship our goods tariff-free is immense.

In the meantime, the slow fashion movement is about so much more than buying ethical clothing. It's a whole new way to think about and consume fashion. So even though you may not be able to buy directly from us, we still have offerings for you!
