FREED, which is a sustainable Canadian fashion brand, has been nominated in the 2023 Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards (CAFA) in the category of The Outerwear Brand of the Year.

FREED is known and celebrated for its animal-free, high-fashion garments. The brand’s silhouettes prioritize comfortable silhouettes, eco-conscious production, and genderless style. The brand’s zero-waste factory in Winnipeg, MB launched in 2020 and is a cornerstone for FREED’s commitment to elevating Canada's potential in high fashion and sustainability. FREED factories hold the OEKO-TEX100 Standard Certification, ensuring the elimination of harsh chemicals and pollution during fabric milling. FREED is known for being designed and made in Canada, 100% vegan and cruelty-free, using eco-textiles devoid of animal-based dyes, practicing slow-waste production, and consistently innovating for greater sustainability.

One notable practice of the sustainable Canadian fashion band is its repurposing of fabric ends and previous styles to create new products like pom poms and leg warmers.
