Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 100%
The vendor's own about page names no company beyond itself and describes a single production workshop; press from the Globe and Mail and nvmyeyes.com consistently describes Christopher and Sydney Seggie as the husband-and-wife founders with no outside investor or parent named. Corporations Canada returns zero federal results for Fellow Earthlings, so it is likely a PEI provincial corporation or sole proprietorship; the PEI corporate registry is not among the registries this research could reach.

The Globe and Mail describes the brand's signature material as acetate recycled from the workshop's own production offcuts, but no source states where the original, virgin acetate sheet stock is milled. Acetate sheet manufacturing for eyewear is globally concentrated in Italy and, secondarily, East Asia, so this mix estimates most material value as imported before the vendor's own recycling step, with a smaller Canadian share for the workshop-generated scrap and the Shopify-based storefront; it is not a sourced figure.
