Not Sorry Blog — sustainable future

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 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."

Check out Part I of our interview with multi-talented artist India Solomon and our co-founder Dy-Min Johnson below. 

We commissioned India Solomon to create a mural in our new store and with her help we were able to create an inviting, fluid space. 

Watch to learn more about her and the inspiration behind her art!

We were featured in Second Wave Meida's Metromode! Metromode is a digital news magazine focused in the metro area of Michigan! MJ Galbraith wrote:

"With a retail presence in Ferndale’s Rust Belt Market and a production studio at the Ponyride Detroit maker space, Not Sorry Goods made the most out of their shared workspaces. Now the sustainable lifestyle retailer is ready to make another leap forward: Not Sorry Goods is prepping for the grand opening of their flagship store along Woodward Avenue in downtown Ferndale. A celebration is planned from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, July 30."

For any confusion, we will still have a booth Rust Belt Market! We are only a couple minutes away from Rust Belt and will still have product available to shop on the weekends. In our new store you can catch new upcycled products in stock and watch clothing being customized and worked on.
