This week is Seattle Made Week. What, you ask, is Seattle Made? Well, a few (very good) people got together and said, Hey, Seattleites make amazing things. We make objects, we brew beer. We distill liquor, we make candles. We make jewelry and bird houses and belts and furniture and everything else in-between. Wouldn't it be great to collect all of our Seattle manufacturers in one place, offer support, and raise awareness of all this Seattle awesomeness? And Seattle Made was created.
Seattle Made Week (September 19-26th) is the inaugural week of highlighting all these great Seattleites and the stores who support them.
We love our local designers and makers, and carry many Seattle-based products. We specifically carry six Seattle Made manufacturers: Alchemy Goods, Big Dipper candles, Five Ply, Sarah Loertscher, Scrappy's Bitters, and last but not least, Steel Toe Studios.

To celebrate this week, we invited Erica Gordon of Steel Toe Studios to Click! for a trunk show on Friday, September 25th, 6-9p. Erica, local blacksmith extraordinaire, will be bringing a collection of her forged buckles and handmade leather belts. She will be showcasing a limited offering of one-of-a-kind buckles from her Scale collection, as well as new leather belt color ways, like the "Undertow" belt below. She will also be sharing her full collection of stainless steel and brass jewelry, not typically carried at Click!. Come meet this amazing craftsperson and celebrate Seattle's makers.
