Québec, QC CA · timininous.com
Founder-owned children's merino wool clothing brand in Quebec City, launched in September 2022 by Marie-Renée Grondin, that has its garments cut and sewn in the Quebec City region and sells direct, through Simons' Fabrique 1840, and at Quebec markets. The wool itself is mostly Australian, and the legal entity could not be confirmed in a registry.
Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 100%
The vendor and Le Soleil both describe Timininous as founded and run by Marie-Renée Grondin in Quebec City, the site footer names Timininous INC, and Les Produits du Québec lists it as a manufacturer at 1965 Avenue d'Assise. Corporations Canada returned zero results, so it is likely a Quebec corporation, and the Registraire des entreprises du Québec could not be reached from this session; the outcome of the May 2023 Dans l'œil du dragon pitch was not disclosed, and evol financing is described without saying whether it was a loan or equity.

The vendor says its merino garments have been made, cut, and sewn in Quebec City since May 2023, knit accessories are hand-knit in Thetford Mines, and socks are made in Toronto, which Le Soleil repeated in 2023. Caps and hats are made overseas, so the OTHER share is an estimate by product line count; no contractor or workshop is named.

The vendor says most of its merino wool comes from Australian sheep, with some from New Zealand and other southern hemisphere countries, while some of the fabric is knit in Quebec City and Montreal and the merino detergent it sells is made in Ontario by Eucalan. The split is an estimate that puts the raw fibre in OTHER, the Canadian knitting and finishing in CA, and a US share for the Shopify storefront.
