Searching for Made in Newfoundland

Hi! I do not know who maybe knowledgable in Canadian made vintage, but I am searching specifically for items made in Newfoundland and Labrador. Tags may be marked, "Made in Newfoundland" "Made in Newfoundland, Canada", " St. John's, NFLD", "Made in NFLD", " or "Made in (random town name), Newfoundland".

I have found some around my hometown and pieces online (Ebay, Poshmark, Etsy etc.). However, I am looking for really anything as I am interested in vintage locally produced garments; especially for information on vintage small brands I may not have discovered yet. So far, brand wise, I know of/have come across Nonia, Grenfell Handicrafts, Woof Designs, AJH Crafts, and Specialty Tailoring St. John's (only ever saw one item so not sure if an actual brand).

I am always interest in "Made in Canada" vintage items as well, or really any information about past Canadian manufactured clothing, shoes, or accessories from smaller labels.
 
Aside from Nonia and Grenfell, I think the only label I have come across was a furrier's label in a sealskin coat from the 1960s -- sorry, I don't remember what it was and we didn't keep it because the sealskin was drying out and cracking. You picked a place that will be difficult to find much!

Forgot to add the Vogue Furriers Label I am also familiar with (do not believe they actually manufactured their own furs products)

Thanks anyways. Too bad fish oil couldn't help you with the drying and cracking
 
Good morning,
I know a few Newfoundlanders so will ask if there's some trusted sources. My volunteer organization helps small businesses of all sizes.
Will keep looking and provide an update. :)
