In 1970 many American clothing brands started moving their manufacturing overseas. The bottom line was to decrease costs. Today we live in an era where American made products are the exception and most brands remain outside the US. This impacts the American workforce in many ways, such as jobs, labor conditions, community and morale.
The benefits of taking cheap labor overseas has come at a high price. It is about lost opportunities for the American workforce. This includes lost wages, loss of economy, loss of community, and lost pride. It is not just about money, it’s about livelihood.
BeeLeaf believes in supporting local American made companies that employees every day hard working Americans and invest into our communities.
You will find that the companies that uphold these same beliefs and make clothing in the US also highly value quality and the environment. We too invest into making clothing that is made well and looks at the impact it has on people and the planet.
