Historique

Michael Budman and Don Green, who still run the business today, founded Roots in 1973. The privately

The Roots global headquarters and design centre are located in Toronto at 1400 Castlefield Ave. The

company’s state-​­of-​­the-​­art leather goods factory is located in Toronto on Caledonia Road. It has always

been operated by the Kowalewski family, famous for three generations of old-​­world craftsmanship.

Roots has more than 220 retail stores in Canada, the United States and Asia (China, Taiwan).
