Everyone loves the local movement. With an increasingly global consumer market, we just want to know where our food, furniture, and fashion comes from. I was pleased to take part on Wednesday in the Made in NYC web launch event at Nanette Lepore‘s showroom in Manhattan. No longer do you have to wonder how to find your local manufacturers; just visit www.madeinnyc.org, a new and improved directory of all things made in the five boroughs. There’s something warm and fuzzy about knowing your purchase supports the local economy – yes, your neighbor might be making your kombucha tea or the guy next to you on the subway might spend the day assembling that paintbrush you used in art class.
What’s being made in your city? Tell us in the comments below. Go here for more on MINYC’s launch.
