Buy Canadian First - Your destination for good shopping

At Tristan we think that the world works better when it is in equilibrium, we balance production overseas with local design and manufacturing. Our collections are created at our head office in Montreal. Each season up to 30% of all our products are made in Canada, most of them at our facilities in Cookshire, Quebec. The quality of our final product is not only incomparable, but by investing in equipment and technology to improve our productivity, we can compete on price, even with China. By manufacturing in Canada we reduce transportation costs and CO2 emissions. We increase our production speed (going from design to final product in as little as 3 weeks) and our commitment to social responsibility.

Trends have evolved significantly since the company was founded in the early ’70s, but quality is still the main priority when it comes to choosing fabrics, manufacturing garments, designing stores and training staff. Like its clientèle, Tristan has a personality and an identity. Today, this identity is characterized by a distinctive visual signature and two Latin words: UNUM SUMUS, with UNUM meaning one and Sumus meaning we are, hence the “T” which represents both the brand and the union of man and woman. Fuelled by its national and international success since its inception, Tristan is pursuing growth targets which are supported by a strong philosophy of unity... UNUM SUMUS.
