We design and manufacture right here in Ontario
Local, hands-on, and creatively driven. We carry through every part of the process, from concept and development, to shuttling boxes and fabric through their series of steps in our local supply chain.
This is how it happens...
It Begins in House
Location: OkayOk Toronto Studio
Our studio is a design lab for both our garments and surface designs. Upstairs from the shop we do it all, from the pattern drafting to establishing the final finishing techniques.
Graphics & Surface Design
Location: OkayOk Toronto Studio
All our prints are developed and applied in-house using heat transfer vinyl combined and other mediums. Allover prints are designed right on the garment: laid out by hand and applied with precision and rigorous attention to quality.
Fabric Sourcing
Location: Brampton + Toronto Area
Our cotton jersey and fleece textiles are made by a fabric mill in Brampton, ON. We also seek out interesting overstock fabrics from local mills and factories. Designing with what’s already available is part of our creative process.
Cutting & Sewing
Location: Mississauga, ON + the OkayOk Studio
We are cutting and sewing small releases of garments right in the Okayok studio, as well as partnering with skilled local manufacturers for larger scale projects. Keeping everything local and small batch allows us to stay flexible and maintain quality at every stage.
Garment Dyeing
Location: North York, ON
We choose new colour stories every season to dye our garments and socks. Having control over this important aspect of our products has made Okayok who we are today. Experimenting with colour will always be a part of our creative direction and development.
Sock Production
Location: Brampton, ON
Our socks are made on low-tech sock machines that are over 50 years old. We love their imperfect charm and the satisfying rhythm of the process. Most of our socks are made with natural fiber yarns we purchased from a Toronto sweater factory that closed in 2025. We own a treasure trove of beautiful yarns that we'll be creating with for years to come.
Intention at Every Step
Manufacturing close to home allows us to stay involved in all aspects of production, and to have meaningful relationships with the people behind our supply chain.
Our process is decidedly slow and proudly local. It's not just how we make things. It's why we make them. OkayOk is committed to pushing creative boundaries, to make the most of what's possible with small scale manufacturing in Canada.
