Vendor pages describe founder Brandon Svarc, a third-generation Montreal garment maker, with no mention of outside investors or a parent company. Corporations Canada's federal register has no record under "Naked & Famous Denim", so it is most likely incorporated provincially in Quebec; the Registraire des entreprises du Quebec is bot-walled to fetches, so the exact legal entity and its shareholders could not be confirmed. Federal searches for the family names "Svarc" and "Lundy" turned up two dissolved Montreal-area corporations (Gestion Magovac-Svarc Inc. and Canada Lundy's International Inc.) that plausibly sit in the same family denim business, but neither could be tied to Naked & Famous Denim's current operating entity, so this stays circumstantial rather than evidence for the mix.

Headquarters, production floor, and the only open roles (sales associate, warehouse associate) are all at the Montreal address; the vendor also runs an NYC flagship store, but its careers page shows no US hiring, so staff appear concentrated in Montreal.

The vendor consistently describes its denim as raw Japanese selvedge from mills in Okayama, Japan, across its home, about, and our-story pages, with no domestically sourced fabric line mentioned. No information was found on where thread, rivets, or other trim come from, so the mix reflects fabric only.
