It Started with an Idea...
With over 30 years of combined experience working with and within the labour movement, the founders of One Movement (Carlos and Steve) have received just about every “union swag” item in existence!
As representatives and executive members of their respective labour unions, responsible for designing and purchasing promotional material, Steve and Carlos identified a large gap in the limited variety of quality products offered and the low standard of service being provided. With experience in creative design and a connection with a local print shop, Carlos and Steve decided they would provide the union community with quality products and services they deserve.


And so, One Movement Threads was born.
After many months of searching for the right manufacturers and finding the right Union to be a part of (RWU 580 - ILWU Canada), One Movement was officially launched in April of 2018 -- and we’ve been growing ever since!
Today, One Movement offers products and expert services ranging from custom clothing and apparel to website design and podcast production. One Movement is proud to provide union members and progressive organizations with a one-stop shop for engaging promotional material and growth strategies to develop their unique movements.
Our Brand
We’re committed to delivering unique thread and style combinations that not only match your style, but your ethics too. When you wear One Movement you can feel good about the clothes you wear because we’ve done the heavy lifting for you. Our threads are guaranteed to be ethically made in Canada or USA by Union Members & Garment Professionals.
Our Custom Designs
Are you tired of giving away shirts that people only wear once? Let us help you create the type of garment your organization will be proud to give away. More than just putting your logo on a shirt, our team of design professionals can’t wait to work with you towards creating the type of branding experience you’ll only find at One Movement.
Our Roots
From the front lines of the labour movement, our principles are a direct reflection of where we come from. Our founders had a vision: high quality, fashion-forward, ethically sourced garments made locally by, and for working people. Our mandate to respect the work it takes to make clothes, buy clothes and wear clothes starts with our team and ends with you.
We acknowledgment the territories where our work takes place:
Coast Salish | S’ólh Téméxw (Stó:lō) | səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh) | Kwikwetlem
