Baby and children's fashion, snowsuits and swimwear for 3 months to 14 years, designed in Montreal since 1986.

Montreal, QC CA · deuxpardeux.com

Deux par Deux is a Montreal children's clothing and snowsuit brand launched in 1986, still owned and directed by its founding Diwan-Elmaleh family through Groupe Minimome Inc., a federally incorporated Quebec company. Design and head office staff remain in Montreal, but the vendor moved manufacturing to China in 2005 and its own site says nothing about factory location or material sourcing. No grocery channel applies to this category.

Factors

Ownership

100.0 verified

CA 100%

Corporations Canada shows Groupe Minimome Inc. (federal corporation 151448-2, formerly Layette Minimome Inc.) as an active corporation with its registered office in Montreal and three directors: C. Diwan, M. Elmaleh, and Zacharie Elmaleh, matching the founding family that a museum retrospective says still runs the brand. No outside investor or acquisition was found.

Manufacturing

other 100%

The vendor's own site does not disclose where garments are manufactured. The McCord Museum's fashion history entry states production moved to China in 2005 to stay competitive, after being made locally from 1986 to 2005; this is press-grade corroboration, not a registry or audit finding.

People

CA 100%

The vendor states clothes are designed in Montreal and describes its head office there; the McCord entry puts a roughly 25-person design staff at that Montreal headquarters. No employees outside Canada were identified; manufacturing is contracted overseas rather than staffed directly.

Inputs

other 100%

Neither the vendor's site nor any secondary source names fabric or material suppliers. Since manufacturing has been contracted to China since 2005, materials are assumed to follow that same sourcing region; this is an estimate, not a documented figure. The storefront itself runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform, but that does not offset physical material sourcing.
