THE INSPIRATION
Our mission
The Plum Blossom Company was created in 2020 by our founder Sarah, with roots in London, United Kingdom and headquartered out of Toronto, Canada.
Sarah wanted to create an environmentally and socially responsible business, that gives people the opportunity to make choices that are good for their fellow humans – including poor farmers and workers who are usually taken advantage of – and good for the environment/planet, all at affordable prices that are competitive with market prices.
For those of us who believe it is our responsibility to be good to fellow humans and the planet, The Plum Blossom Company seeks to enable the ability to make the right choice - without spending more.

Enhance people's lives and the environment through our products
All our product lines are offered with GOTS (Global Organic Textiles Standard) certified options. It's a big deal, and it matters. It means they are produced using a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic, persistent pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Working and social conditions must be equivalent to those of leading social sustainability standards, from the farm to processing, manufacturing, and trading. There are also welfare standards for animal husbandry and prohibits genetically modified organisms.

Support social equity
At The Plum Blossom Company, we take our mission of social responsibility seriously. Founded by a woman, we are proud that women represent 50% of our employee, management and ownership groups, and that we have built an employee base comprised 100% of immigrants from visible minority groups. It's clear to us that such a diverse team is a source of strength and purpose, which we put to work for our customers in delivering a fantastic product with exceptional customer service.
