Vitae Apparel

The BC Registry (via OrgBook) lists VITAE APPAREL INC. (BC1122431) as an active BC company registered June 2017, successor to a 2017 sole proprietorship of the same name; press profiles consistently describe Selene Dior as founder and CEO with no mention of outside investors or a parent company. No federal Corporations Canada record exists, and the registry does not publish a shareholder or significant-control register for BC companies, so the ownership split beyond Dior could not be verified.

Vitae describes itself as operating out of Vancouver, BC, with design work done locally by the founder before pieces are sent to manufacturers; a third-party lifestyle feature reports the company later moved into an office in Richmond, BC, still within the same metro area.

The vendor names two proprietary recycled fabrics, RecoTex (recycled-bottle polyester certified by EPA Taiwan, Oeko-Tex, Intertek and GRS) and CompressLux (recycled nylon including recycled fishnets), but does not state the mill country for either. Given manufacturing is entirely in China and the RecoTex certification body is Taiwanese, materials are assumed to come from the same Asian supply chain rather than Canada, the EU, or the US.
