Our CEO, Eric Henry is often invited to speak about sustainability and circularity on podcasts and at events. This time, Steph Speirs () and Julio Obscura the folks behind Future in Bloom, a media studio and show exploring the intersection of climate tech, market innovation, and human nature, came to TS Designs from Chicago to talk with Eric about energy use and sustainability efforts at both our facility and his farm.

They explored everything from our solar panels, to our natural dye garden, and even our decomposing t-shirt experiment. They touched on why our energy bill is more this year, even though our sales and usage are down. Eric also shared the story of how our sustainability journey began shortly after NAFTA was ratified in 1994, as apparel brands began moving production overseas to cut costs.

It’s a story about making different choices, rethinking how things are done, and continuing to find ways to do better for people and the planet. Stay tuned for when the video is released. We will be sure to share it here!

World Cotton Day was established to celebrate the positive impact cotton has on the farmers who grow it, and those who enjoy the benefits of cotton. For us, it allows us to bring up the challenges being faced by American cotton farmers.

This year, cotton farmers in the United States are estimated to lose $2.6 billion across the 9 million acres planted. From rising production costs, competition from synthetic fibers, and governmental initiatives sitting in flux, our farmers are in a difficult position.

This summer we visited Ronnie and Andrew Burleson, the 2rd and 3rd-generation cotton farmers who supply the cotton for some of our shirts. We talked about the challenges they’re facing in the market. Andrew said, “It’s just this uncertainty of not knowing what the rules of the game are going to be… and with the inconsistencies of tariffs and trade deals, we feel like we’re getting the raw end of that deal.”

While cotton farming has been tougher than ever in the past several years, Andrew still sees a path forward. “[Cotton] is resilient, and it’s been consistent for us. It’s not to say it doesn't have its challenges, but I see a future there.”

Support our farmers and celebrate World Cotton Day by choosing our grown and made-in-the-USA 100% cotton tees!

If the way we do things aligns with your values, put those values on a t-shirt by choosing TS Designs or Solid State Clothing for your next apparel order.

It’s National Intern Day! Year after year, we are delighted to host college interns from Elon University's Campus Alamance program. This year was our first time hosting two interns and we are grateful for the impact Aida and Ellie have made to our business this summer. Their supervisor, Emily Stasiak, was impressed with their quality of work, willingness to learn and try new things, and their positive attitude on a daily basis.

Ellie’s experience was “Interning at TS Designs has given me the opportunity to view my passion for marketing and PR through the lens of the apparel and sustainability industry. I'm grateful for the TS Designs team being so welcoming and providing me the opportunity to get hands-on experience working with a unique and innovative company.”

Aida reflects, “Coming into TS Designs, I didn't know what to expect, as I barely had any true work experience. However, reflecting on my time here, I would say it's been one of the best experiences I've had. My work had so much variety, that every day I did something new and learned continuously. I participated in meetings where I watched professionals brainstorm and collaborate, learning a great deal about running a business. I experienced photography in a whole different style, and loved taking direction for different types of shoots. I improved my design skills and absorbed much advice and influence from the team here. Everyone I met was extremely welcoming, supportive and kind, making me feel comfortable right away. Overall this experience has been truly amazing and I'm so grateful I was given the chance to spend my summer here! I will definitely take the skills and knowledge I learned out into the world and use them as I continue on my career journey."

While we will miss having them, we appreciate this program and the students that help to shape our small business in Alamance County.
