OUR STATE
featuring Cotton of the Carolinas and TS Designs customer Mindful Supply.
Follow the journey of our Carolina-made t-shirts, from a local cotton harvest to fabric dyeing and printing. TS Designs works to strengthen the regional economy through responsible textile production with local suppliers by producing the only trackable t-shirt, grown and made within 600 miles in the Carolinas.
“Dirt to Shirt” was produced by UNC-TV in partnership with Our State Magazine, and with generous funding by BB&T. Directed by Morgan Potts.
