Au Canada Apparel is a startup business based in the beautiful Okanagan in British Columbia. We are a husband and wife team that operates from home.
Our basement is our storage facility, our garage is shipping & receiving, our kitchen table is the board room, and we like to have staff meetings during walks through our neighbourhood.
Our store is 100% in Canadian dollars, so there are no currency conversions, nor are there any import, duty, or tariff fees charged to you the customer. The only thing you will be charged is the price of the garment, taxes in your province (GST, PST, HST), and for shipping.
Free shipping on orders over $115!
Our incredibly Cozy Crewnecks are made in a state-of-the-art facility with virtually zero waste, so they're eco-friendly and 100% sweatshop free! They are based in California and have a sister plant in Guatemala that is WRAP certified! Our hoodies come from a similar plant in Pakistan, also WRAP certified!
That means you're getting top quality garments from manufacturing plants with even higher standards for socially responsibility and environmental sustainability!
