Let's Be Honest: Tariffs Weren't Made to Hurt Corporations — They Were Made to Crush Us.
Recent government tariffs didn't touch the big guys. They absorbed it like nothing happened.
Indie brands? We got hit with higher production costs, doubled shipping fees, and FedEx invoices that could make a grown woman cry. (Yes — we're still paying off the last one.)
Instead of raising prices or compromising quality, we made the hardest — and bravest — choice:
We left retail and went fully direct-to-consumer.
Why? Because indie art survives when it stays in the hands of the people who actually believe in it.
