DaBaby Canada

Canadian-owned · made in Canada · based in Ontario

Husband-and-wife boutique making printed baby bodysuits, kids' tees and custom toddler varsity jackets in Ontario since 2005, sold on Etsy and at Ottawa's ByWard Market.

Ottawa, ON CA · dababy.ca

A two-person Ottawa design house that decorates baby bodysuits and kids' tees and makes custom toddler varsity jackets, selling through an Etsy shop and a ByWard Market stall. It states its apparel is cut and sewn in Ontario, but current Etsy listings for tees and bodysuits say designed in Canada on garment blanks of unstated origin. The vendor's own site is a splash page that links out to Etsy, a US platform.

Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

The vendor describes itself as a husband-and-wife team, 100 percent Canadian since 2005, and the Marketspread vendor listing and madeinca.ca repeat that. Corporations Canada returned zero results for DaBaby, so it is most likely an Ontario sole proprietorship or provincial registration; the Ontario Business Registry could not be checked without a browser.

Manufacturing

CA 60% · other 40%

The vendor's madeinca.ca write-up says its apparel is cut and sewn locally in an Ontario fair-wage garment facility, which fits the made-to-order varsity jackets with a three-week production time. Current Etsy listings for bodysuits and tees describe standard 6 oz cotton jersey blanks and say only designed in Canada, so those are read as imported blanks printed in Canada. The split is an estimate by product line, not a published figure.

  • Infant and Children's Clothing: DaBaby Canada | Made in CA · the vendor's own site “DaBaby Canada is proud to have our apparel cut and sewn locally in a fair-wage garment facility.”
  • Etsy Shop for DaBABY · the vendor's own site “T-Shirt ~100% cotton jersey ~ 6 oz. (10 oz./ly, 203 g) Set-in rib collar with shoulder-to-shoulder taping. Double-needle sleeve and bottom hems. Preshrunk to minimize shrinkage. DESIGNED IN CANADA!”

CA 100%

A two-person business run from Ottawa, where the Etsy shop is located and the owners sell full time at the ByWard Market; madeinca.ca lists Toronto instead, and the vendor's own contact page would not load to settle it. Either way everyone is in Ontario.

CA 10% · other 70% · US 20%

Cotton jersey blanks, cotton and poly fleece, and snaps are not milled in Canada, and the listings name no blank supplier, so materials are placed mostly in OTHER as an estimate. The only online storefront is Etsy, a US platform, which is counted in the US share; the vendor's own domain is a splash page linking to it.

  • Etsy Shop for DaBABY · the vendor's own site “Our "Bodysuit" is 100% Pre-Shrunk Combed Cotton, they have (3) three nickel free snaps”
  • DaBaby · the vendor's own site “DaBABY on Etsy”
