Roots

Founded in 1973 by Michael Budman and Don Green, Roots originated from a simple idea and a love for the outdoors—particularly Ontario’s Algonquin Park, which shaped the brand’s ethos and mission. Beginning in Toronto with quality footwear, it has evolved into a cherished Canadian lifestyle brand. Now, Roots offers premium leather bags, jackets, accessories, their classic salt & pepper sweats, natural fiber apparel, and home décor—all crafted with dedication and authenticity. Their leather goods are proudly made in Canada at their Toronto facility, maintaining the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and excellence.
