The vendor's own FAQ is deliberately vague, saying only that its manufacturing partner has been "in the leather making business since the past 35 years" and that "all of our products are based out of Toronto, Canada" without naming a country of manufacture. A CanadianSME Small Business Magazine profile (May 2026) is more specific: bags are "designed in Toronto, Ontario, then handcrafted by talented craftsmen in Pakistan and Canada." This conflicts with madeinca.ca's directory listing, which states "Manufactured In: Canada" with no source given. The CA/OTHER split here is our estimate, weighted toward the country named for the raw hides; no unit or revenue breakdown by country was published anywhere.

HQ is Mississauga, ON and the sole director/controlling shareholder is based in Milton, ON. No careers page, staff count, or overseas office was found, so this is treated as a single-site Canadian business; the overseas craftsmen described in press coverage appear to work for a contracted manufacturing partner rather than as Hides' own staff, which is captured under manufacturing instead.

The vendor's FAQ states the leather itself comes from cattle hides raised in the Punjab region and Northern Kashmir of the Indian subcontinent, prized for their durability from that climate; no Canadian or other material source is mentioned for the leather.
