Roots Canada
Established in Toronto in 1973, Roots is Canada’s leading lifestyle brand, selling a wide range of clothing, leather goods, and accessories for men and women of all ages.
Co-founders Michael Budman and Don Green have led the extraordinary growth of Roots. Inspired by their teenage summer-camp experiences in Ontario’s Algonquin Park, they created a business that celebrates the natural beauty and culture of Canada.
Starting as a single store with a single product (the Roots negative heel shoe), Roots grew by establishing other signature products, including leather jackets and bags, the Roots awards jacket, the Roots Beaver Athletic sweatshirt (a cultural phenomenon in 1985), the Tuff Boot, and the leather club chair.
To expand its range of offerings, the privately held company has developed relationships with more than 20 licensees, producing shoes, underwear, fashion accessories, fragrances, watches, luggage, linens, home furnishings, and more.
