Wee Woollies

The terms of service name Wee Woollies Children's Apparel Ltd. at a Victoria, BC address, and OrgBook BC shows it as an active BC company incorporated 2014-11-27, preceded by a sole proprietorship registered in 2008. The Financial Post and the company's own blog say the husband and wife founders, Filip Hribal and Cindy Finley of Victoria, turned down Jim Treliving's Dragons' Den offer and continued self-financing. Corporations Canada returns no federal entity, and BC's registry does not expose shareholders, so the founders' continued sole ownership rests on their own statement and 2016 press.

The merino fabric, the dominant input, comes from ZQ certified farms in New Zealand by the company's own account. The Canadian share is an estimate for local sewing supplies and the Canadian Shopify platform behind the store; the company did not say where the fabric is knitted or dyed.
