Kit and Ace

Unity Brands Inc., a private company led by David Lui, Joe Mimran, and Frank Rocchetti and headquartered in Vancouver and Toronto, acquired Kit and Ace Technical Apparel Inc. in July 2023, per the acquirer's own press release and trade press coverage. Corporations Canada's federal registry returned zero results for both Kit and Ace and Unity Brands, so both are likely provincial corporations; that registry check could not confirm the ownership stake structure directly.

No manufacturing or where-it's-made page could be found on the vendor's site (the likely URL returned 404), so there is no vendor statement on final assembly location. A 2015 press profile reports the brand's cashmere is sourced from Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China, consistent with offshore production, so the mix is estimated as fully offshore rather than confirmed by country.

The vendor's own contact and careers pages list a single head office at 165 Water St in Vancouver, and press coverage of the 2023 ownership change describes operations, marketing, e-commerce, finance, and logistics run from that Vancouver office with product design based in Toronto. Both locations are in Canada.

The only material sourcing detail found is that the brand's signature cashmere comes from Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China, per a 2015 press profile; no vendor statement covers other fabrics, so the mix follows that offshore pattern rather than a confirmed line-by-line breakdown.
