Factors

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.
