Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 100%
The vendor's own story and interview pages present fairechild as founder Tabitha Osler's brand, one describing it explicitly as a "Canadian Women Owned Brand," and the terms of service name Faire Child at a Dartmouth, Nova Scotia address. Searches for an acquisition, parent, or investor turned up nothing. Corporations Canada's federal registry returns zero results for the name, consistent with a Nova Scotia provincial corporation, which this run could not query directly.

The children's rain coat collection page and the our-story page both carry a "100% MADE IN CANADA" claim, and the our-story page states the adult collection is sewn in a Canadian studio near Halifax; no specific factory is named for the children's line beyond that claim, and no independent registry or directory could confirm it.

The founder describes sourcing the brand's core waterproof, recycled-PET fabric from Sympatex, a German textile producer discovered at a UK trade show; no other supplier is named. The split between that fabric and any Canadian-sourced trims or thread is this run's estimate, since no full bill of materials was published.
