Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 100%
Fourth-generation owner David Barclay is described on LinkedIn and in press as owner/operator of the family business; the federal Corporations Canada search returned zero results for "Stolen Riches", so it is likely registered provincially in Ontario, which I could not check.

Manufacturing
85.0 reportedCA 70% · EU 30%
The vendor states shoelaces are produced at the family's own factory in Canada since 1915, and leather bags and belts are "handmade in Canada" from Italian leather; I could not find a factory address or a revenue split between product lines, so this weights laces and leather assembly to Canada with a share held for the Italian sourcing chain.

Inputs
64.0 inferredCA 40% · EU 40% · other 20%
Leather for bags, wallets, and belts is explicitly Italian; lace material is described only as recycled nylon with no sourcing country given, and metal tips and hardware are unattributed, so this splits inputs between EU leather, an estimated Canadian share for the recycled nylon cord, and an OTHER share held for unstated hardware sourcing.
