Sourcing
raw Material
We source our material from trusted suppliers, with our focus mainly on local suppliers. That means wherever we go, we turn to our immediate surroundings to source.
Together We can Create Anything
We are dedicated to creating our products using locally and globally sourced raw materials. By prioritizing local suppliers, we actively support the growth of our community’s economy. Our commitment to using locally sourced materials helps reduce our carbon footprint and builds connections within the community. We are committed to a better future, where business and the local economy thrive together.
Fabrics & Thread
From polyester to cotton, leather to pleather, vinyl to webbing… We source fabric of all kinds, for all types of projects.
They are one of the most important elements to source. Whether it’s for clothing, home decor, baggage, or various equipment, fabric is essential. We search high and low to find fabrics fitting to your project’s need.
Metals
The right type of metal is a key component to making a quality product. Our basic metal we use is stainless steel, but we source all types of metal.
Stainless has non-allergenic properties and is very dependable, but we also offer brass, bronze, silver, gold and any many other metals to make your product the way you’d like it to be.
Glue & Epoxy
Certain elements can’t be attached by any other means besides being fused together using high-strength glues and epoxies. Items like waterproof bags, vinyl patches, exercise equipment, outdoor gear, decals and more need specific adhesives in order to keep things together.
Epoxy can also used for items like game pieces, ornaments, home decor and much more. It is a very exciting material to work with as it can be made to any shape, size or color!
Dyes & Paint
From adding a unique touch to a product to changing it’s entire color! Dyes and paints are an important element to include when designing a product.
Screen printing, sublimation, stenciling, fabric dying… these are just some examples of how we use dyes and paint. Other materials like plastic, wood and even metal can benefit by adding coloring agents.
Tools
It’s nearly impossible to list every tool we use to create a finished product.
Sourcing quality tools is essential. We swear by a few trusted and reliable brands within each category of tools, and and are always on the lookout for innovative methods to help us along the way. To read more about the tools we use, see our manufacturing page.
Accessories
Zippers, crab claws, cord locks, pull strings, zipper pulls, purse feet, straps, loops, hoops, and so much more…
These are the items that make a product unique. It’s one of our favorite part of sourcing because it lets us mix elements, materials and colors to create a true work of art.
Transparency
We believe that transparency is fundamental in maintaining a strong company. We welcome any questions regarding who we source our goods from, details about a material, how we source, and so on… If you have have a questions, please ask.
Dependability
We work with tested and proven suppliers. Raw goods are sourced from ethically sound work environments, and we include details on each product page to clearly display where it’s from.
Honesty
Put your trust in us, and we take it seriously.
We are proud to supply you with quality goods, and will continue operating with our core values to find the best materials for your products.
“To find yourself, think for yourself.”
