Kickstarter

Nonetheless is a purpose-driven clothing company. You can move from your daily commute to client meetings and seamlessly celebrate life without compromising mobility, performance, or tailoring. Every piece is environmentally sound with touch points that provide a fluid pathway of considered pieces based on the 'less is more' philosophy.

Our sustainable design methods make for very limited runs. The fabric utilized on many of our shirting garments is purchased from a high-end luxury fashion house in London that disregards these beautifully made (excess) materials at production. These fabrics are made in Italy and Japan with the highest regard to quality. That said; at times we get as little as 25 yards of one textile. In some cases, that is approximately 12 Shirts. This Cradle-to-Cradle production makes each piece very rare and truly unique.

Nonetheless is more than a clothing line. It's a vehicle to make an authentic difference in this world. Nonetheless stands for the triple bottom line. PEOPLE, PLANET, AND NOT JUST FOR PROFIT...

Nonetheless will give 3% of profits to Academy for Global Citizenship www.agcchicago.org -- and Creative Pitch -- www.creativepitch.org, and other 501c3 organizations to be named.

WHY INVEST IN NONETHELESS?

All funds for this project will go to taking our designs from the prototype phase to actual production. If funded through Kick Starter, we will produce these unique pieces right here in the U.S.A.. Better yet, in our home city of Chicago. Our collective already has the prototypes, fabrics, manufacturing resources, and provisional patents on a few utilitarian designs.

Truthfully, we could ask for more funding. However, we know that even $3,000 would pay for the first production of these highly unique and rare pieces. We have self funded the development phase of this project. We can produce these pieces within 3 weeks.

We already have two boutiques in Chicago that will be stocking Nonetheless and an on-line Web Shop.



Note: We are releasing our women’s line for Spring 2011.
