Pingree Detroit is opening its first flagship store - Detroit Metro Times

OMG!!! I'm literally so hyped for Pingree Detroit to open their flagship store on Veteran's Day!! It's like, totally amazing that they're putting people first, you know? Supporting US military veterans & employing Detroiters is just, wow... the community aspect is everything right now . And can we talk about sustainability?! 55K pounds of recycled materials diverted from landfills? Like, what even is this kind of magic?! It's not just a brand, it's a movement. I love that they're prioritizing transparency & sharing 77% of profits locally... that's some real change-making right there . And those "Footwear Fridays" events sound like so much fun! Meeting the makers & watching artisans at work? Yes, please! This is exactly what we need more of in this world - people who genuinely care about making a difference .

I'm loving the vibe of this new Pingree Detroit flagship store! Did you know that sustainable fashion is a growing trend? Like, 71% of millennials are now more likely to choose eco-friendly brands over traditional ones . And Pingree Detroit's commitment to using recycled materials (55,000 pounds diverted from landfills) is so admirable . But what really gets me excited is the worker-owned model - it's like a win-win for everyone involved! 77% of profits being shared locally? That's some serious community love . I'm definitely checking out that pop-up event at Little Caesars Arena on Nov 10th . Can't wait to see what new designs they have in store (pun intended ).

I'm not sure if I'm sold on this whole sustainable fashion thing just yet . Don't get me wrong, it's great that Pingree Detroit is trying to make a difference, but $200+ shoes made from recycled materials might be out of reach for a lot of people . Plus, 77% of profits being shared locally sounds like a nice gesture, but isn't that just code for 'we're not really making a profit yet'? Still, I do love the idea of "Footwear Fridays" - who doesn't want to meet their maker and watch some sweet craftsmanship?
