Roots

Roots began with a simple idea and a desire to make it happen. In 1973, Michael Budman and Don Green created Roots. They were inspired by their passion for Ontario’s Algonquin Park and everything it represented for them. Starting in Toronto with footwear, Roots evolved to include quality leather bags, jackets, accessories, their signature salt & pepper sweats, natural fiber clothing and home furnishings. The leather products have always been and continue to be made in Canada at our own factory in Toronto.
