IT’S NICE TO BE ADMIRED BUT…

Canada Goose is growing and so are the challenges we face. From integrating new technology, to safeguarding the environment, to preserving the integrity of the brand and dealing with the scourge of counterfeiters, we’re striving to stay on top. A backhand compliment of sorts, counterfeiting is the downside of success.

 The Health Risks of Counterfeit Jackets

Like many best-in-class products, Canada Goose parkas are copied by counterfeiters who produce non-functional versions of the real thing. This practice is not only illegal, but also dangerous. After analyzing the content of many counterfeit jackets, we now know that in the place of the sanitized, Canadian down that is used by Canada Goose, you will find feather mulch, coated in bacteria, fungus and mildew, a significant health risks. With no real down in a counterfeit jacket, the chances of freezing to death in extreme climate becomes a real possibility.

 The Business of Counterfeiting

We deal with counterfeiters EVERY DAY! From seizures at global border crossings by customs officers and police, to rogue on-line websites and illegal on-line auctions. We wish we could take the money that we invest in protecting our consumers from counterfeiters and invest it in Polar Bears International, Canada Goose Resource Centres or adding to the creation of our Canadian manufacturing infrastructure that has such a positive effect on our economy. Today we recognize that counterfeiters are a distasteful reality that we must fight against to protect our consumers, fans and the integrity of our brand. This is a problem faced these days by most, if not all of the world¹s luxury and best quality, iconic brands that are in high demand.
