When I think about Canadian made and what that means to me, it embodies everything we at Old Europe Duvet Company have been doing since 1982. We support the local economy by hiring people IN our community. We source supplies from Canada whenever possible, and we make our product from start to finish IN Canada.
More than ever, supporting our local economy has become so vital. I hire sewers to help me make our duvets and pillows that live in my local Milton Ontario community. My family participates in the business in many different ways as well. My 83 year old father rips, folds, marks and organizes each piece of fabric for the sewers to make each duvet shell. That's right, each duvet shell, and each pillow shell is sewn IN Milton Ontario. These are NOT premade shells that are shipped here and then filled. They are actually MADE HERE! After we make each shell, when the customer chooses the down they wish, it is blown into the shell and finished on site. We have made our duvets and pillows exactly the same way since 1982. We are not a large scale business. We strive to cater to each request a customer has, and welcome custom sizes and fills for both pillows and duvets. We are proud that we have been able to maintain my mother-in-law's quest for quality. After all, that was why she started the business in the first place - to achieve a quality product, made in Canada.
