Transparency is at the heart of our business and therefore we want to share an important development in our journey to meet the growing demand for our product. After exploring many possible avenues for local production, Park & Fifth has made the strategic decision to expand our manufacturing capabilities overseas. This move not only allows us to keep up with demand but also creates exciting possibilities for more specialized sewing technologies. Our commitment to local production remains unwavering, and the majority of our products will continue to be made in Vancouver, Canada. We are immensely proud of our enduring partnerships with our local production facilities and we're working closely with them to maximize our collaboration.
Starting in January 2024, some of our pieces will be made overseas in China. We worked to ensure we chose the right factory to meet our high standards in sustainability, ethical labour practices, and environmental responsibility. Our chosen garment manufacturer is a certified bluesign® partner, which is an accreditation of the facilities’ dedication to reducing environmental impact, emissions, and waste management. The health and safety of their workers is their top priority, in addition to ensuring fair wages, a comfortable working environment and opportunities for professional development. We're excited to embark on this new journey, combining local craftsmanship and international expertise to deliver the best to you.
