The meaning behind our name goes back to the famous "flying leaf" in China. Legend has it, Chinese Emperor Shen Nong was one day boiling water when a leaf from an overhanging tree dropped into his pot. The Emperor felt invigorated and refreshed as he drank the infused water with its unusual but delicious flavour. That was obviously one special leaf and because of that "flying leaf", tea was discovered.

CDN believes we're more than beavers and ice rinks, red and white or a maple leaf. Canadian apparel is failing to reflect the diversity of people who live in this country; with intricate lives and interests, stories and values that make them who they are and this place what it is. Don't get us wrong, we're still hockey loving, mountain climbing, cold beer drinking people.
