How it started.
On April 24, 2013, the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh collapsed, killing 1,134 garment workers. The tragedy drew global attention to the inhumane conditions that had long underpinned much of the fashion and textile industry.
While many brands claim to take seriously the welfare of the people who make our clothes, few have the resources (or the will) to truly hold their supply chains accountable. The result is a system where style often comes at the cost of human dignity.
How it’s going.
At Style Made American, we believe there's a better way. By focusing on clothing and home goods made here in the United States, we shift that burden of accountability onto the American regulatory system (yeah, we know its not perfect) and closer to the communities where we live.
Our mission is to highlight American craftsmanship and give you the tools to find what you're looking for. Through in-depth reviews, brand profiles, and buyer's guides, we aim to give you confidence in what you buy and pride in the craftsmanship behind it.
How we do it.
At Style Made American, our goal is simple: give you honest advice to help you find products you'll actually use and wear. We don't chase fast fashion or trends for the sake of consumption. When brands send us samples for review, we donate them to local charities after testing, and anything we wear ourselves we buy outright. From time to time, we'll collaborate with brands to tell deeper stories about the industry, but our content always remains our own.
The database is its own thing — just a list of who's making what in the United States, with no implied endorsement. All opinions live in the editorial sections. Made in the USA isn't automatically ethical, and we'll cover the places where it isn't. All opinions are our own — never paid spin.
