It’s a no-brainer. We love having the opportunity to work with NC-based companies. We’re undeniably tied to the state. We literally have roots in the North Carolina soil. And we love making connections and promoting NC business. So, you can understand why we get tickled-pink when an NC business chooses to use us for their apparel needs.

Most recently, we’re working with a local NC brew house based in Kinston: Mother Earth Brewing. In fact, we’re working on the front side print this afternoon for their t-shirts. They chose to print on Cotton of the Carolinas – and we couldn’t be prouder of their choice.

Mother Earth Brewing, Kinston NC

At TS Designs and in the printing process.

We’ve had the opportunity to work with other NC breweries as well. Are you familiar with Red Oak, Bull City, and Haw River Ales? If not (and you like a good, local beer), you should follow up on those names and catch up with a great pint. And while you’re at it, take a minute to reflect on how an NC microbrew and the Cotton of the Carolinas project have some things in common.

First, they are both proudly NC-made products. Which yes, also means proudly “Made in the USA.”

Second, they’re both carefully crafted to be superior products within their industries.

Third, they both might cost a little more than their big-name competitors, but consumers know a great product when they see, taste and/or wear it and aren’t put off by spending a little more in order to enjoy a product of the highest quality.

The entire crew at TS Designs is jazzed to be working on the Mother Earth Brewing tees. We look forward to adding more artisan craft breweries to our list of NC companies who choose NC cotton!
