Not Sorry Blog — locally owned

This Friday & every Friday this month we'll be hosting artist extraordinaire Indy Solomon. Indy will be live painting and creating custom art on clothes, canvases, shoes, purses, etc.

Here's how it works:

1. Bring one item for Indy to live paint with premium acrylic for leather goods or fabric paint for clothing

2. Pay a flat fee of $50 paid at the beginning of your appointment and you will walk away with a finished product

3. Brag to your friends (totally optional but you'll want to)

Please note: The smaller the item, the more coverage, but items of all sizes are welcome. Materials that CANNOT be painted include silk, velour, velvet, and wool (i.e. sweaters).

You don't want to miss this! Book your appointment here.

We're so excited to share that we had the opportunity to sit down and chat with the Detroit Free Press about our new store in Ferndale!

Thank you Chanel & Mandi for visiting and sharing our story. Check out the rest of the article here.

We're so grateful to be featured in SEEN Magainze's article - Sustainable Style: More Than Just a Trend! Claire Manor wrote:

"Like its name suggests, Not Sorry Goods is all about looking, feeling and doing good — no apologies necessary. With a passion for sustainable fashion, co-founders Dy-Min Johnson and Jessica Minnick center their brand around upcycled and vintage items. They also avoid excess inventory with made-to-order pieces, use recycled-material packaging, and carry eco-friendly local brands."

We're so grateful we got the opportunity to sit down with Sadie Quagliotto from Hip in Detroit! Hip in Detroit is a positive space that features the people, places, and things that make the City of Detroit and the surrounding suburbs special. Sadie wrote:

"Clothing and culture are changing. Fast fashion is finally being called out for the waste creating, capitalistic money grabber that it is and people across the board are being called out on their bullshit. Post pandemic, no one is willing to waste a second thinking about what anyone else says about who they are, who they choose to love, what sex they identify as, what size body they are occupying, or how they choose to dress it, and no brand captures this sentiment better than Metro Detroit's Not Sorry Goods."
