A sub dedicated to independent apparel brands & early adopters - General fashion discussion, features, and weekly deals!

I understand where you are coming from and thats what i am working against right now. We are in fact a company and we want to have transparency about that but the aim of this sub is to genuinely stimulate these conversations, not promote our products.

Our mission is to give people who enjoy shopping "local" apparel the opportunity to experience this with brands all over the world. Likewise we want those self-starters out there an opportunity to share their work with an audience of people who are into streetwear at an "underground" level. That mission isnt solely accomplished by selling products, we want to stimulate a community of people who share these same interests because they are out there.

When I make a "brand feature" post, im aiming to tell a story about an independent brand and its creators. I am NOT aiming to up the sales for their products. They happen to be a brand that lives on our site because thats all we have to go off of. Posting deals is a genuine act because at that point we arent even making money off those sales, just sharing what we think people would like.

My question for you is what else would you like to see on the page that would pique your interest? What would make you feel comfortable knowing the sub is operated by a company who genuinely lives and breathes this lifestyle? Would you need our website be removed from the discussion entirely in order to stimulate conversations like this?
