We've been making products in San Francisco since we started in 1998. Back then, there was a big push for off-shore manufacturing because it was lower cost.
Although it does cost more to do produce in the USA, we wanted to control the process from production to finished goods. It's easier for us to ensure quality, make changes on the fly, and produce only what we need.
Customers get a higher quality product, a more long-lasting one, and is not a copycat design. All our designs are original and they incorporate features that customers tell us they're looking for when used as a daily cary. It's not just a product that we end up making, but something that becomes a vital part of your daily routine.
