Stonz

The company's own history page names Lisa Will as founder, and press from 2012 through 2025 (Globe and Mail, Women of Influence, the vendor's own blog) consistently describes her as founder and CEO with no outside investor or parent named; The CANADA List lists ownership as Stonz Wear Inc., Canada. Corporations Canada returns zero federal results for Stonz Wear, so it is likely incorporated provincially in BC; the BC Registry could not be queried directly (JavaScript-rendered, no server-side search endpoint found).

• Making Outside Easy · the vendor's own site “Our story began in 2004 when founder Lisa Will, an outdoor enthusiast and new mom, realized how challenging it was to get outside with a baby.”
• Kids' outdoor gear maker needs to find memorable 'hook' for its brand - The Globe and Mail · press “Lisa Will is the founder and CEO of Stonz Wear Inc.”
• Search for a Federal Corporation - Corporations Canada · registry record “0 results were found, 0 returned.”
• The CANADA List · directory “Stonz is a Canadian children's footwear and apparel company based in Vancouver.”

The company's own history page states it moved production overseas in 2011 to keep up with demand, without naming a country. The CANADA List names China specifically for the Cypress rain boots line; taken as corroboration of the vendor's own overseas statement rather than as the sole source, so kept at reported rather than dropped to inferred. No factory audit or other product line was checked, so the full-line country split is an estimate.

• Making Outside Easy · the vendor's own site “Stonz moves its production overseas in order to continue providing great quality products while keeping up with demand”
• The CANADA List · directory “Cypress rain boots are manufactured in China, while Canadian design, brand management and distribution support domestic jobs.”

The vendor states it is proudly based in Vancouver; a 2012 Globe and Mail profile put staff at seven, all local, and nothing found since points to a second office or overseas staff, so headquarters country is used at full weight.

• Making Outside Easy · the vendor's own site “Stonz is a mom-founded brand, proudly based in Vancouver, Canada.”
• Kids' outdoor gear maker needs to find memorable 'hook' for its brand - The Globe and Mail · press “Stonz Wear Inc. ... employs seven full-time staff.”

Neither the vendor's site nor press found names the origin of fabrics, leather, wool or hardware. Footwear and outerwear materials are typically sourced in or near the country where the goods are cut and sewn, so the mix mirrors the overseas manufacturing location with a small Canadian share for design, packaging and the Shopify-based storefront; this is an estimate, not a sourced figure.
