TORONTO, ON — We are honoured to have Redwood Classics™ Apparel’s journey featured in Canadian Business, where our story of resilience, innovation, and purpose is shared with a national audience.
When President Kathy Cheng launched Redwood Classics™ as an offshoot of her family’s company, the challenges were significant. In an industry increasingly dominated by fast fashion and offshore production, our path forward was far from simple. Yet by staying true to our values — partnering with local, underrepresented suppliers and doubling down on Made-in-Canada manufacturing — Redwood Classics™ was able to turn obstacles into opportunities.
Online and on the airwaves now, our Founder and CEO Kathy Cheng discusses the future of fashion, trade and social responsibility with the Advertising Specialty Institute. In the interview, Kathy shares her insider picks for the latest and greatest trends poised to impact the promotional products market this year and beyond. From the reshoring revival to striving to create a more closed-loop economy, find out what’s next in the world of imprinted wearables straight from the source in this Advertising Specialty Institute exclusive.
