The Beginning
June 05, 2016In the summer of 2011, with a passion for clothing, particularly leather goods, I became a men’s sales associate at Bloomingdales in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Prior to the July 4th celebration sale, the merchandising staff decided they should put together a display of American made items. As the store men's associates looked on, only the women got a display. The men’s department had only three U.S. produced items. At that moment my vision for Solomon Chancellor to solve that problem emerged. Living in St. Louis at the time, a garment-manufacturing hub that once rivaled New York City, I witnessed first hand what the decline of manufacturing has done to communities. While our goal is to open a local manufacturing facility someday, we currently use a US production facility and domestic materials that manifest the daily promise of upholding manufacturing in America.
We've just begun and we invite you to join us on the journey.
