Celebrating 100 Years of Excellence
Since 1924, when Cansew Inc. first opened its doors as “The Canadian Sewing Supply”, many changes have taken place in the needle-trade. And throughout the years, our 100% Canadian sewing and trim supply company has evolved alongside this ever-changing industry.
Our vision is to help our customers achieve sewing excellence. Since day one, our motto has always been “Yours for Better Sewing”
…a promise that we keep.
For 100 years, Cansew has woven a rich tapestry of innovation and excellence. From our humble beginnings in 1924, to the cutting-edge technological advancements of today, our journey has been marked by constant evolution.
Yet, through every era of change and every new milestone reached, one steadfast strand has remained unaltered – our unwavering commitment to excellence. This enduring dedication is the common thread that binds our past to our present and guides us into the future, ensuring that every product we create is not just a piece of thread, but a part of a legacy.
