The business we’re in
At August-Ivy, we believe access to great products shouldn’t be held hostage by unnecessary barriers. Denim is a cultural staple — built to last, meant to be worn by everyone, and recognized worldwide. Yet, Canadians often find themselves paying more for the very same jeans that sit just across the border.
Our mission is simple: to bridge a gap that shouldn’t exist. Every package we ship is part of a bigger statement — that small businesses and independent resellers deserve fair access to inventory without being penalized by policies that drive up costs and limit opportunity.
We understand these challenges firsthand because we’re a small business too. The same tariffs, inflated costs, and obstacles that make it harder for Canadian resellers have also shaped our own journey. August-Ivy was built out of necessity — not as a large distributor, but as entrepreneurs who saw how unfair the playing field had become. By creating direct access to American denim, we’re not only helping other small businesses push back against these barriers, we’re also carving out a fairer path for ourselves.
Every piece of denim that passes through August-Ivy is hand-selected and authenticated to ensure resellers receive genuine, high-quality inventory. We carefully vet our sources to guarantee that the jeans we supply are not only authentic but also ethically sourced, giving new life to existing stock and keeping usable clothing in circulation. This commitment to quality and responsibility means our partners can resell with confidence, knowing their pieces reflect both durability and integrity.
