Organic, made in the USA (Chicago, IL to be exact), small business, feel-goodery and lady entrepreneurs... What's not trendy here?!
Two college friends of mine (Brittany and Brittany) have started a clothing line called Merit Clothiers and they've got a kickstarter campaign to get it off the ground.
Inspired by childhood scouting days The Brittanys have created badges to be sewn onto their army jacket and messenger bag to commemorate the awesome achievements of 20-somethings. For example I could round up the Having a Savings Account, Traveling Abroad and Taking Public Transit badge.
Merit Clothiers guiding principles are:
1. People should be proud of the great things they accomplish everyday
2. Inspiring others to do good deeds makes for a better world
3. We all deserve clothing that is beneficial to the economy and the environment
Check out Merit Clothiers and support their kickstarter campaign to get them off the ground. They're only $1,095 from their goal to produce the first run of the line. You can contribute with a standard pledge or you can pre-order badges, jackets and bags.
