There’s a whole background of work that goes into making the clothing and products you purchase everyday. Fast fashion has led to consumer confusion on how valuable our purchases really are or should be. Everyone deserves to be treated and paid respectfully for the work they do. And the goods we purchase deserve to be appreciated and treated with care. 🌎
I’ve made your clothes, home products, masks, and helped launch your local apparel / product businesses and designers.
I’ve made your patterns, samples, prototypes, tech packs, textile prints, alterations, sourcing connections, and industry connections.
But most important of all, I hope I’ve made your friendship. Connecting local creatives and resources is a passion of mine. This work and this art we’ve all created together has helped shape us and our community today. The support we give to each other helps us bring consumer awareness, & helps our local business and skilled workers thrive. ❤️
When making a purchase, you can ask:
Who made my clothes?
What’s in my clothes?
