The vendor's about-us page states the business was founded by Joan and Bob Ianson in 1995 and that their daughter, Kristen Stannix, described as an Indigenous Canadian woman, purchased it from her parents in June 2023, calling it a woman-led, Indigenous-owned Canadian business. Corporations Canada's federal registry returns zero results for Heirloom Linens, consistent with the terms page naming Heirloom Linens Ltd. as governed by British Columbia law, i.e. a provincial rather than federal incorporation; the BC Registry could not be checked directly since its business search sits behind an authenticated, non-fetchable interface.

Manufacturing
48.5 inferredCA 30% · EU 15% · other 55%
The site's own Made in Canada category states Canada does not manufacture fabric so those items are sewn or assembled in Canada, and the retailer prominently stocks Cuddle Down and Daniadown, both scored elsewhere as majority Canadian-manufactured. The much broader catalog, spanning curtains, rugs, mattresses, kids and kitchen products, and towels that include an explicitly Egyptian cotton line, carries no stated country of origin on the pages checked, so most of it is assumed imported; this split is an estimate by category share, not a published figure.

The vendor states plainly that Canada does not manufacture fabric, so even its Canadian-assembled line depends on imported fabric; Cuddle Down, one of the Canadian brands it carries, sources fabric woven in Portugal and Italy for goods it assembles domestically. The rest of the catalog, including an explicit Egyptian cotton towel line, is not documented by material origin, so this mix is an estimate weighted toward imported textile inputs rather than a published figure.
