We must back who we believe in.
If we say we shop small, we don't hit one-click on Amazon.
This is about supporting the many. The tinkerers, the after-hours thinkers, those who've been at it for decades, and the businesses who've created despite constraint.
This list features just a handful of the businesses we need to see come out of the other side of the pandemic. From head to toe, and home, scroll for our ever-evolving list of the brands we'll be buying from. And if you'd like to submit an addition, you'll find a quick submission form at the end. Enjoy.
