Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

My name is Connor Curran, and I’m one of the co-owners of Local Laundry. We’re Canadian-made garments for social good. We’re determined to make the most socially conscious and most comfortable garments possible. We make garments that make you look good and feel good.

The core of our clothing is crewneck sweaters, hoodies, t-shirts, hats, toques, and socks. We utilize eco-friendly fibres and produce everything entirely here in Canada. My business partner, Dustin Paisley, and I founded Local Laundry in Calgary, Alberta initially with our YYC Collection, our claim to fame. Over five years since our inception, our collections now include the CAN Collection, Local Collection, and Giving Garments Collection.

Our customers are people who want to make their laundry local and build a community.

We sell mainly on our online store and create custom garments for organizations looking to source more sustainably and want to design clothing for their team that they want to wear rather than ending up in their pajama pile.

We’re currently becoming B Corp certified and becoming free of all plastic that isn’t recycled by 2022.
