Chitown Clothing
Sara, Kevin, and Maeve
In 2009, Sara and Kevin wanted to combine their collective civic pride with their entrepreneurial spirit. Equipped with graphic design and marketing backgrounds, as well as some stupidity, they started with just a few designs stocked in the closet of their small apartment. To their surprise, people seemed to like what they were doing. They quit their jobs and went all in. A few years later they were married and, of course, had t-shirts as favors.
Since their humble beginnings, they have tried to capture this great city’s creativity, wit, history and rich culture through every super-soft tee and each meticulously-designed graphic. They did this all while learning the delicate balance of running a business with your significant other out of a confined Lakeview apartment. They have come a long way since their humble beginning - they offer dozens of original rotating tees, sweatshirts, tote bags, stickers and more. They’ve been lucky enough to be featured in great publications and sell in boutiques, as well as big box stores, throughout the Chicagoland area. What a ride it’s been, Chicago (and we're not stopping yet)!
You Are Beautiful
You Are Beautiful
You Are Beautiful started as a passion project in 2002 with 100 stickers, with a goal to help people feel better every day. The project was run out of a two car garage until 2018. YAB HQ was then opened in Chicago, offering a retail store front (open to the public daily), as well as housing their studio. They are extremely grateful for the global community who has helped spread millions of stickers, murals, & art installations far and wide!

Mogela
Chad + Meg Gleason of Moglea
Moglea (pronounced MOH-GLEE) is an Iowa-based design studio that focuses on the craft of artful stationery and paper goods. Production processes are done by hand and make each piece feel
one-of-a-kind.
Moglea was launched in May of 2012 by Chad and Meg Gleason. After moving to Chad's family farm in Audubon, Iowa, they bought a century-old letterpress and started creating the Moglea line. Meg sought to bring unexpected processes like dip dye and hand painting to the fine stationery market. Moglea moved the business to Des Moines, Iowa in the fall of 2018 where they continue to manufacture hand painted paper goods. They are currently working on expanding the Moglea line to include furniture and home goods in 2021.
