Montreal, QC CA · www.lolelife.com

Montreal activewear and yoga brand rebuilt as Lole Brands Canada ULC after its predecessor Coalision restructured through bankruptcy in 2020. Design and head office stay in Montreal and the company has since become an acquirer of foreign labels (Louis Garneau's Garneau, Sugoi and Sombrio; California's Sanuk and epoque evolution) rather than being acquired, but manufacturing is offshore in Asia.

Factors

Ownership

100.0 reported

CA 100%

Lole trades as Lole Brands Canada ULC, a Quebec share-capital corporation active since the September 2020 restructuring of predecessor Coalision Inc; a federal Corporations Canada search returned zero results, consistent with a provincial filing. Press coverage describes the restructuring as backed by Quebec investment groups and led by Montreal-based CEO Bernard Mariette, and the company has since acquired US brands (Sanuk, epoque evolution, Louis Garneau's lines) rather than the reverse, with no reporting of a foreign parent or majority owner. The Quebec Registraire des entreprises significant-control register could not be reached to name the current shareholders directly.

Lole's own customer-service FAQ states the design and support team are in Montreal but products are made in Asia like most manufacturers, to stay competitive, with partners required to meet fair labor and environmental standards; no specific countries or a Canadian production line are named.

No page names material or fabric origin specifically. Given final assembly is in Asia, technical fabrics and trims for activewear are typically sourced in the same region; this split is an estimate, not a published figure.
