At MARIGOLD, we are committed to designing clothing with respect for each of its stakeholders. Our suppliers and subcontractors are carefully selected. We pay close attention to the origin of our raw materials. And our manufacturers are experts in their field, working in Montreal itself. It is a source of great pride for the entire MARIGOLD team that all of our clothing is designed and manufactured in Quebec. Producing locally allows us to support ethical and fair practices; and thus minimize our environmental impact, a priority for us.

transparent fashion
Our approach also involves transparency in our manufacturing stages and our prices.
All our garments come with an additional label that we called "TRANSPARENT LABEL", each expense for the making of a garment is listed and annotated to understand its final price.
We truly want to highlight each participating artisan to offer you quality clothing.
