If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s the importance of supporting local brands.
The ‘Made in America’ label carries more weight than ever before. Not only are you supporting an American business, but you’re also supporting every part of their supply chain.
From the companies that source their materials to the artisans that bring their designs to life, these companies are American through and through.
Sadly, many famous American fashion designers and even Khloé Kardashian’s Good American don’t make their products in America.
The beauty of supporting American brands that manufacturer locally is that you can lower your carbon footprint and support a more sustainable fashion industry.
To help you along the way, we’re rounding up the list of the 15 brands that proudly carry the ‘Made in America’ label. This list contains a mix of long-established names and up-and-coming brands that you need to know about.
