Whether you choose a hat crafted in a heritage factory in the United States or a solo milliner working out of the basement of her neighborhood church, jewelry from an independent artist working in the Bay Area or family-owned factory in India keeping traditional skills alive, skincare from a retired cricket player in New Zealand or a mother teaching her young daughter the trade in Columbus, Ohio, or socks from the last sock factory in a small town in Alabama that was once the sock capital of the world, your style and your money are supporting the dreams and livelihoods of a dense network of interdependent small businesses around the globe.
