COOL STUFF WE’RE DOING
Hey guys, I’m Leslie, co-founder (along with my incredibly talented and patient husband Bradley) of Kith and Kin. I’ve always loved fashion and for years was a self proclaimed addict shopper. Buying for the sake of style and status, I was addicted to consuming and the thrill of the find. Buying clothing was a way for me to escape the real world. I was in a crazed, self absorbed state. Over the years and through multiple retail jobs I started researching about the impact the fashion industry has on the environment and more importantly, the actual real life human person who sews and makes my clothes. I started searching for brands that cared about their employees, the factories working conditions, and the planet. Coming from Southeast Missouri, there are not a lot of options when it comes to ethical fashion and I set out with a goal to share the mission of the “slow fashion” industry to my small town. Thus Kith and Kin was born; serving up vintage goodness and USA made, ethically produced fashion to Cape Girardeau and beyond.
