Our Roots

Roots was founded in 1973 by Michael Budman and Don Green, two city kids who met at summer camp in Ontario's Algonquin Park. Inspired by the beauty and possibilities of Canada's wilderness, they created Roots.

To this day, Roots continues to support local craftsmanship and makers at our Leather Factory in Ontario. We value authenticity, integrity, and use the most premium materials that stand the test of time.
