Scott Kerr sits down with Carrie Baker, president of Toronto-based luxury outerwear company Canada Goose, whose signature coats and parkas are commonly spotted on Hollywood celebrities and affluent urban consumers. Carrie discusses how the six-decade-old family-owned business, once a brand worn exclusively by Canadian rangers and arctic explorers evolved into a $1 billion global luxury lifestyle brand. She also talks about its commitment to remaining a “Made in Canada” brand, how winter wear became a hot category, why the brand is all-in on brick-and-mortar, expanding its offerings into non-parka products, putting a focus on the female consumer, and why it finally went fur-free.
