While I plan on keeping my handmade couture line in Truckee, right now I'm shopping around for a US-based factory to produce my ready to wear stuff.
That's right, folks, I want to expand.
I've narrowed it down to a few factories that meet my criteria;
*MUST be located in the US
*Workers must get paid fair wage
*Workers have access to benefits
*Workers are overall content in the workplace
I want everything to be more than fair, even though that ups my production cost considerably. I Also want to contribute to our economy, as well as lowering impact on the environment [Initial shipping wouldn't be so far away].
I also plan on eventually starting a unisex organic cotton hoodie line, so keep your eyes open!
Right now I have to concentrate on sketching and pattern-making, so I have a full deal to present to whichever factory I pick.
Spread the work please! Thanks!
