Roots – Nature-Inspired. Canadian-Made.

Founded in 1973 by Michael Budman and Don Greene, the Roots brand grew out of a deep love for nature and perfection for use. The majestic beauty of Ontario’s Algonquin Park has become a highlight – a place that symbolizes the true spirit of Canada. This very natural strength has become the basis of the brand’s philosophy, which values comfort, convenience and sweetness.

What started in Toronto with hand-picked production has transformed into an iconic Canadian brand of way of life. Today’s Roots is known for its premium leather garments, signature Salt & Pepper tracksuits, natural fabric clothing, accessories and homewares – crafted with respect for detail and fidelity to tradition.

The brand does not honor its origins: the bulk of its leather products are still prepared by hand at a factory in Toronto. Skin River Roots is a story about nature, quiet and true Canadian bitterness.
