With one foot in the past and everything else leaning far into the future the POLKA DOT CLUB takes heritage toy making seriously. At the turn of the 20th century the finest teddy bears and stuffed animals were made with mohair, wool felt, and wood stuffing. Inspired by the longevity of its love worn predecessors, the PDC continues to use only natural fibers. We use mohair fur woven onto cotton backing, and improve on safety and feel with the inclusion of safety eyes and 100% cotton stuffing. All materials, techniques and processes are made with your little one in mind and an eye toward bringing heritage toy making into the 21st century. These are bears that pay homage to the past but are wholly modern playthings for today. They are heirlooms for now & forever.

Tradlands
At Tradlands, our intention is to make the best clothing for our customer, the woman who drifts towards the men’s section and thinks, “I wish they made this for me.” We create menswear inspired staples for women with a relentless emphasis on fit, details, and quality. All of our products are guaranteed to last and made to be lived in. Each style is made in small batch production. This keeps vitality and versatility in our line for our customers and for us. In turn, each piece becomes a limited edition.
All of our goods are designed and sewn in downtown San Francisco with trims and fabrics sourced within the United States. We are on hand during our production runs and overseeing each shirt that gets made. It is the best way to ensure well-crafted details and a healthy work environment. To pay homage to the place where the line is designed and sewn, each piece is named after a place in San Francisco.

Hackwith Design House
We believe that your favorite piece of clothing doesn’t have to be shared; it can be as unique as you are. Instead of designing for mass production, we immerse ourselves wholeheartedly in the process and create every piece with the intention of it becoming that special highlight of your closet. We create less than 25 of each piece, which makes all of them uniquely rare and special.
We also believe that it’s important to know where and how your clothing is being made. We begin with a sketch, handpick fine fabrics from all over the world, and then sew the piece in our Minneapolis Studio. We want these pieces to be special and we want them to last, so we make sure that the quality of our garments is outstanding.
