Factors

Ownership

100.0 reported

CA 100%

The vendor's own team page names Mélissa Lambert as President and Founder with no mention of outside investors or a parent company, and the departments listed (marketing, sales, product development, finance/HR, logistics) are all led from the Laval/Montreal head office. A federal Corporations Canada search for "Lambert" returned no matching entity, consistent with a Quebec provincial incorporation; the Registraire des entreprises du Québec is bot-walled to fetches, so the exact corporate structure and shareholder register could not be checked directly.

Manufacturing

20.0 reported

other 100%

The vendor's about page states its bags are manufactured by a partner factory in Guangzhou, China, chosen for its 18 years of expertise in women's accessories. No production is described in Canada, the US, or the EU, and no revenue split by product line is published, so manufacturing is allocated entirely to OTHER.

CA 100%

The team page describes roughly 40 staff across marketing, sales, product development, finance/HR, and logistics, all based out of the Montreal-area head office and the Carrefour Laval flagship store and distribution centre, with no other country of operation mentioned.

Inputs

20.0 inferred

other 100%

The materials page says the collection is made mostly from recycled PU, recycled nylon and recycled polyester, and that the recycled PU comes from offcuts and surplus generated during manufacturing, but it does not name a supplier country. Since manufacturing sits entirely with the Guangzhou partner factory, inputs are inferred to originate from the same China-based supply chain rather than from Canada, the US, or the EU.
