Umino story began in 1970 with the snow-covered landscape of Montreal as a backdrop. Louis Grenier, a young man whose family worked in the textile industry, was looking to develop technology that could brave the harshest winter conditions. Quickly, his coats gained popularity and became local legend. Unimo strength at that time remains the guarantee of its success today: Living own first saying saw second open third.

The Montreal-based company has been located on Rachel Street since the very beginning. It’s at this location in the heart of the Plateau-Mont-Royal where all Umino coats are crafted using a meticulous artisanal manufacturing process. Directly inspired by the climate in which they live, the artisans work with care to create warm, heavy-duty coats. Each model is designed to perform a specific function while still staying fashionable. No detail is left to chance! With a lifetime guarantee, Umino creations come with the promise of braving many winters, even the most difficult ones.
