W+H is all made in Canada in non-sweatshop factories in the Vancouver area and pays all of its employees a proper wage. You may not agree with the pricing/style but this is what it costs to create a fashion brand, in Canada, using proper/ethical manufacturing processes.

You may not care where/how your clothes are made and that is on you, but for the people that do care this is an excellent sale on some very high-quality clothing that will outlast the fast-fashion clothing through many cycles.

Their mainline clothing is great quality for the price and they've been making more of a shift towards eco-friendly business practices. They have fashion-stable clothing choices that will also outlast the short-lived trends.

Wings and Horns is entry off of the branding/designer wagon. Just the entry. There are many more high end basics brands after them.

W+H quality is mediocre at best. I still have some of their old tiger fleece hoodies (bought at deep discount years ago), but I use them for lounging around the house. They're nothing special at all, even the made in Canada pieces. If you did a bit of research you can find actual designer pieces for the same price as W+H's made in China crap, but enjoy your "sale".

I have done LOTS of research and have been buying W+H/RC for a long time. They work with other local companies/artists and have done a lot to elevate the Canadian fashion market and have created an excellent manufacturing hub/skillset in Canada similar to Arc'Teryx (which is now starting to move some of its manufacturing to China due to a lack of skilled workers in the Vancouver area). I have heard rumors that Haven uses SYC corp to produce its clothing line as well (along with Supreme) but I am not interested in getting into an argument about which brand is actually "designer". I prefer buying clothes that I know are ethically made and the inherent mark-up on these items is at least partially related to their production methods and not some misguided notion of an item being "designer".
