Door County, Wisconsin
About Stars & Stripes Collective
In 2011, Jennifer and Stephen Imig heard the message of “Made in America,” and challenged themselves to buy only American-made products. They knew American apparel manufacturing had moved overseas, often made by workers earning low-wages and working without any labor or environmental protections. The experience led them to launch an Instagram account, Stars & Stripes Collective, to promote American-made goods. The husband and wife team opened a brick and mortar store in Wisconsin in 2018, and you can find many of the products they sell online.
