Dani Reiss, owner of Canada Goose, says, “Manufacturing is going to come back to Canada because consumers want authenticity. This is becoming increasingly important worldwide and people are taking more interest, not only in labour-friendly goods, but in iconic genuine brands with substance. We gained extensive manufacturing expertise making private label clothing. Learning a little bit from each brand helped us to create the best parkas on the planet."
