Alfred Sung represents a legacy Canadian fashion brand with a high degree of domestic capital and control retention through its parent, Mimran Group. However, as a brand operating heavily through licensing, its manufacturing and input scores are lowered by globalized production. The True North score indicates strong economic retention at the corporate level with significant leakage in the production chain.
