Roots

Established in 1973 by Michael Budman and Don Green, Roots was born from a simple idea and a love for the great outdoors—especially Ontario’s Algonquin Park, which shaped the brand’s ethos and principles. What began in Toronto with quality footwear has blossomed into a cherished Canadian lifestyle label. Currently, Roots presents premium leather bags, jackets, accessories, their iconic salt & pepper sweats, natural fiber apparel, and home goods—all made with care and authenticity. Their leather items are proudly crafted in Canada at their own Toronto factory, maintaining the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and quality.
