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.

Intentional Design, No Waste: Why what your clothing is made from matters. The planet Earth is in a recycling dilemma. Up to 35% of microplastics in our oceans is derived from us washing our synthetic clothing (source). Yes, it is good to find ways to recycle existing materials, including polyester and other synthetics. However, this does not solve the problem of too much clothing being made without consideration of where it ends up. We believe this problem can and should be fixed at the clothing design stage. TS Designs has developed a fully circular model based around garment dyeing natural fibers.

Synthetic Fibers & Fast Fashion: Conventional fashion is linear, and is often designed with sub standard materials, to be worn and tossed. Even when donated to a thrift store, lots ends up being thrown away. As much as 40% of clothing never even reaches a customer, and goes directly to a landfill or is incinerated (source). Some statistics show on average garments are worn a mere 7 times before being thrown away. It doesn’t just disappear.

Natural Fibers & Processes: Circular fashion is designed for a closed loop system, meaning it begins with the earth and ends with the earth. It starts with 100% natural fibers (down to the thread). When this is coupled with our garment dye on demand model only white inventory is needed, saving wasteful drops and long lead times. Our screen print technology is eco-friendly and unique to us. Designed for longevity, once clothing is at it’s end of life it is biodegradable and recyclable.

Taking Next Steps: (1) Consider us for you next printed t-shirt order, big or small: You can trust that t-shirts made, printed, and dyed at TS Designs are good for people and planet. (2) This model at scale can be a game changer for brands who want to design for longevity and recyclability in mind. We can supply the shirts, or you can. Our print and then dye model is perfect for saving on inventory and supplying your customers with apparel to be proud of. Contact us to learn how we can work together.

The team here at TS Designs was honored to have Richard Ojeda , running for US House of Representatives for District 9 in NC, visit our facility yesterday! Him and his team joined us for lunch of local grass-fed burgers and received a tour.

As a retired US Army Major, we witnessed firsthand how passionate he is about the plight of working people not being able to afford the cost of living in NC; how veterans and others are suffering from PTSD without adequate treatment; how valuable our teachers are to our community; and why workers shouldn't be taxed until they make a certain amount. As a past West Virginia State Senator, he has a history of pushing legislation through for what is best for his constituents.

He listened intently to our employees about the challenges and opportunities we face working in North Carolina from rising health care costs and rapidly rising prices for gas and food, to the importance of supporting and strengthening our educational system.

Representatives from Solid State Clothing, Piedmont Fibershed, Know Your Clothing , Piedmont Agrarian Collaborative - PAC were on hand to show him a tour.

Many thanks to him and his team for taking time out to hear what is important to us!
