Founded in 1973 in Toronto, Roots began as a small leather workshop that focused on high-quality handmade goods. Their iconic leather bags and perfectly broken-in sweatpants quickly became a staple in Canadian homes, cottages, and classrooms.
Over the years, Roots evolved into a symbol of Canadian identity — a blend of rugged outdoors, cozy comfort, and timeless design. Many of their leather pieces are still handcrafted at the Roots Leather Factory in Toronto, making the brand a true standout in a world full of overseas manufacturing.
Whether it's their salt-and-pepper sweatpants, classic hoodies, or durable leather backpacks, Roots remains committed to quality and authenticity. For anyone looking to support Canadian-made products, Roots offers a perfect mix of heritage, sustainability, and craftsmanship that's hard to find anywhere else.
