Roots

Established in 1973 by Michael Budman and Don Green, Roots was born from a simple concept and a love for the great outdoors—particularly Ontario’s Algonquin Park, which shaped the brand’s ethos and mission. Originating in Toronto with premium footwear, it has evolved into a cherished Canadian lifestyle brand. Today, Roots delivers high-quality leather bags, jackets, accessories, its famous salt & pepper sweats, natural fiber apparel, and home decor—all crafted with dedication and authenticity. Their leather items are proudly produced in Canada at their own facility in Toronto, reinforcing the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and quality.
