Issue #7

Welcome to the Merch Makers Monthly, our round-up of all the news fit to print. Read on for holiday gift ideas, responsible sourcing in merch, and awards made from plastic bags (seriously).

Now that it’s officially fall, we are shifting our focus to the holidays (they’ll be here sooner than you think!). To help you check the names off your gift-giving list this year, we’ve put together a great new guide that is jam-packed with ideas. From comfy clothing to festive food, there’s something in the guide for everyone!

What are PFAs? What's a circular economy? And what exactly is responsible sourcing? In our brand-new Forward Thinking guide, all those questions - and many more - will be answered! This guide reflects what we have learned about responsible sourcing and the products that are invested in improvements and making a difference. 

Yes, you read that right!  This year, we wanted to hand out awards that honoured our employees and embodied our values of sustainability and environmental stewardship. To bring the awards to life, we turned to St Regis, a trusted partner known for innovation and craftsmanship. We are excited to share the process with you in our latest blog post!
