Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

The site calls Perlimpinpin a women-owned Quebec company and its terms name Perlimpinpin inc. as the rights holder. La Tribune reported in April 2026 that co-founder Danielle Déry still holds the majority of the shares while co-directors Amélie Lefebvre and Gabriel Gosselin, former employees, became shareholders in a two to three year handover. Corporations Canada returns no federal corporation of this name, so it is a Quebec provincial company; the Registraire des entreprises could not be reached, and the vendor's live pages are bot-walled, so the archived copies are cited.

Manufacturing

CA 15% · other 85%

La Tribune quotes the company saying production is mainly in China and India, that only the bedding is made locally, and that about 15 percent of manufacturing activity stays in Quebec; the McCord Museum encyclopedia dates the move to Asia to 1990. The site's Made in Canada collection holds 83 products, all cotton sheets, change pad covers, nursing pillows, bibs and smocks, while the snowsuit pages say only designed in Canada. The 15 percent is the company's own figure, not an audited one.

The only office is at 1200 avenue Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Quebec City, where design, e-commerce and wholesale are run; La Tribune counts 15 employees and the Canadian Apparel Federation lists the same address. Factory workers in China and India are contractors, not staff.

The snowsuits are 100 percent polyester shell and lining with recycled water bottle content, and the sleep sacks are bamboo rayon, all fabrics that come with the Asian factories that sew them. The cotton for the Canadian-made bedding has no stated origin. The split is an estimate; the storefront runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform, and the company also sells through about 250 retail doors, so there is no single channel dependency.
