independent designers in the WSJ!

i was really glad today to see that the concept of buying from independent clothing and jewelry designers was written about in the reputable WSJ today.  the article talks about how the big luxury brand names aren’t as fashionable as they where a couple years ago.  people are now looking for authenticity and a connection to what they purchase.  please read the article, Crafts, Clothes and Clout and pass on the indie support!

    That’s awesome! It’s so nice to know that the bigger publications are taking note of this growing movement – and that tv show about indie designers – I have to see if that’s on a channel I get!
