Canada Goose in London

Interesting sight when we were walking in London: we saw the ensign of a Canada Goose shop. Interesting, because I don't think I have ever seen one in Canada. Come to think of it, I have rarely seen anyone wearing their clothes in Canada. We did not go in. I was curious about their pricing, probably prohibitive (especially in London), but in the end, I don't see the point: I'm more of a Kanuk ind of guy (which I blogged about before, by the way). Cheaper, but just as good, from what I have been told. And Québec made. Also, as much as I like geese, I find them kind of meh as the symbol of a brand. Why not Canada Bear, or Canada Wolverine? Canada Moose even. I don't know. If you have any Canada Goose products, tell me about your experience with the brand and what you think of it.

  1. I hadn't heard of Kanut until now. I have noticed that once a brand that started out as more niche, suddenly becomes "fashion", the price tage jets upward. Funnily enough, we tend to favour non Canadian brands in this house; Scarpa, Hanweg, Raab, Marmot and Berghaus.
