Stephanie Duncan is one of my very favorite follows on Pinterest and has an incredible blog… and I was sure she’d have some great American made picks… I was right! Be sure to follow Stephanie and to be on the look out for her new blog, launching soon!
Imogene + Willie is an amazing Nashville brand that I love. I think that their commitment to authenticity is admirable. It’s a no frills brand that specializes in a thoughtful product and cares deeply for their local community.
Young & Able is an awesome resource for American made emerging designers. Their mission is to not only support and sell the product, but to promote the designer and their process by sharing their story.
Abbey Glass is a local Atlanta designer who makes well cut lady like clothes, and has a great eye for print placement. There is an exciting new incubator program just launched in Atlanta by the Factory Girls, and currently both Abbey Glass and Megan Huntz are being represented. So thrilling to have such talent so close to home!
Kordal is a Brooklyn based knitwear line that produces gorgeous knits and is invested in educating others about textiles through workshops and events. The SS 2014 Lookbook is truly dreamy!
Tiro Tiro is a Portland based jewelry designer that I have loved for some time. I favor simple architectural jewelry (especially made of brass) so this line is made for me. I waited until I was visiting to get my first piece from a local shop.
I began to think more about what I bought and brought into my home when I became pregnant with my first daughter. Suddenly all of it mattered more, and I was forever aware of what type of example I was setting for my girls.
I want to teach my children that there is real value in supporting local talent and investing in your community. Convenience and instant gratification come at a price.
I enjoy supporting people that are thoughtful in their design and production. I don’t mind paying more for a higher quality and peace of mind.
