How did it all begin? Haramaki Love was created by Julia Aynsley. During her time living in Japan, Julia came across what would end up becoming her all-time favorite fashion and health accessory, the haramaki - a special Japanese belly warmer. Upon her return to Canada, and following the interest of family and friends, Julia recognized the need for such a product in the cold Canadian winters, and Haramaki Love was founded.  Since then, Julia has worked exclusively with local suppliers  to create a wonderful Canadian haramaki belly band product. Haramaki Love was the recipient of the 2009 Entrepreneurship Award from the Montreal Mayor's Foundation.
