Plum is Proudly Canadian

Plum has an established, twenty-six year reputation for quality women's fashions. Our nine locations are in the Lower Mainland, Victoria, Kelowna, and Calgary.

Over fifty percent of our product is exclusively designed in house, and the majority is manufactured in Vancouver. We interpret the latest trends to create clothing that is both stylish and flattering to a woman's figure. Plum does not target an age niche but has a more European approach to fashion – we feel that current styles are popular for all women, regardless of their age. At Plum, we also understand that customers come in various shapes, and have perfected the fit of our garments over the years.

Fashion is for everyone but style is INDIVIDUAL. Our corporate culture is built on trying to find that individual style for every customer and Plum's collection is sure to suit any style.

1. Canadian made: About 50% of Plum merchandise is designed by our in house designer Claudia Agusti and produced right here in Vancouver by highly skilled seamstresses in the best factories.
2. We show you what is made in Canada: Now that we have our own “designed and made in Canada” hangtags on the garments it will be easy to see the product that we make in Canada.
3. Off shore competition and duties: At Plum we have always made every effort to produce as much as possible in Canada but it is increasingly difficult. Competition with low labour costs for off shore production coupled with Canadian duties on imported fabrics, means that we are under continuous pressure to go off shore ourselves.
4. Local production means better quality: Plum staff watches every detail of the production to assure top quality garments … and we stand by them. We exercise a great deal of control over the quality and workmanship of our own Canadian made products.
5. High employment standards: Plum staff is in the factories all the time and can assure our customers that factories are meeting Canadian standards of employment. This is important to many Canadians.
6. Plum designs: Since increased competition by international chains has come to every major street in BC and Alberta, we at Plum have the advantage of being different in that our PLUM, TOBIAS and Simone designs are exclusive to PLUM.
7. Unique designs and limited number: Generally speaking there will only be 160 to 240 units of a style and under 1000 t-shirts and those are distributed among our 9 stores. That makes the product we sell very unique, unlike the massive production runs of the chain stores.

1. The majority of the other labels, while they are not all produced in Canada, most of them are designed here. These lines include Kensie, Kersh, Dex, Point Zero, Lois, and Mavi.
2. Most of our accessories are also Canadian designs. 
3. Our other two labels are both Danish: Vero Moda and Oxmo
