The company is now owned by Toronto entrepreneur Jacquelyn Corbett, who bought it from founder Alyssa Kerbel; the yarn's country of origin is not published.

Factors

Ownership

100.0 reported

CA 100%

The About Us page signs off with Jacquelyn Corbett as owner and places the head office in Toronto, and the terms of service give a Queen Street West, Toronto address; web results describe her acquiring the brand from founder Alyssa Kerbel, with no outside investor or parent named. Corporations Canada returns zero federal corporations for the name, so the operating company, listed in business directories as Mini Mioche Retail Inc., is most likely an Ontario corporation, and the Ontario Business Registry could not be queried directly.

Manufacturing

CA 95% · EU 3% · other 2%

The vendor states its clothing is knit, dyed, cut and sewn start to finish in Canada at factories within 30 km of its Toronto head office, with less than 5 percent of products made abroad, naming socks from Italy and denim from Turkey. The split for that small remainder is an estimate; The CANADA List and madeinca.ca both list manufacturing as Canada.

Fabric is knit and dyed in Canada from GOTS-certified organic cotton yarn, but the vendor does not say where the cotton is grown or spun, and organic cotton yarn is overwhelmingly grown and spun in India, Turkey and other non-Canadian countries, so the material origin is placed mostly in OTHER as an estimate. The Canadian share covers local dyeing, trims and packaging; the storefront runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform, alongside the company's own store.
