Hello Moomer's Continued Commitment to American Textiles & Labor
The recent bankruptcy filing by JOANN Fabric & Craft Stores has left many in the crafting community with questions about the future of their favorite retail chain and the broader retail landscape. While JOANN’s struggles are a reflection of several key challenges faced by the retail industry, they also bring to light a more important conversation: the value of American-sourced and made products, and why supporting them is essential for consumers and communities alike.
Why American-Sourced Products Matter
Support for Local Economies and Jobs
One of the most compelling reasons to support American-made products is their ability to create jobs and stimulate local economies. By choosing domestically sourced goods, consumers help ensure that production, manufacturing, and innovation are happening right here at home. The benefits ripple through the community—creating jobs, supporting small businesses, and fostering regional growth. This is something that companies and consumers alike should keep in mind as they make purchasing decisions.
In addition, we want to make it clear that Hello Moomer does not participate in drop shipping, nor do we rely on foreign labor. We believe that the integrity of our products—and the people who craft them—should never be compromised. Our customers can feel confident knowing that every piece of our production, from fabric to finishing touches, is carefully managed by skilled artisans and workers right here in the United States.
Higher Standards for Quality and Safety
When products are made in the U.S., there is greater oversight regarding quality control and safety standards. From manufacturing to packaging, our American-made goods are subject to rigorous regulations that prioritize consumer safety and quality. Whether you’re buying a bumper cover set, or a seat cover for your stroller wagon, knowing that the item meets these standards can provide peace of mind.
Reducing the Environmental Impact
Another crucial factor is the environmental impact of global supply chains. Long-distance shipping contributes significantly to carbon emissions. By supporting American-made products, consumers can reduce their environmental footprint. With an increasing focus on sustainability, shopping local is one of the easiest and most effective ways to promote eco-friendly practices.
Fostering Innovation
American manufacturing fosters an environment where creativity and innovation thrive. Local companies can respond more rapidly to customer needs, produce customized or small-batch products, and experiment with new techniques. This makes American-sourced goods more unique and often better aligned with local tastes and preferences. We are proud to bring our innovative & patented/ pat. pending products to the market.
Hello Moomer’s Commitment to American-Sourced Textiles, Production, and Labor
At Hello Moomer, we believe in creating more than just quality products. We’re committed to supporting American workers, American textile production, and American-made goods. In a world where cheap overseas production are becoming the norm, we’re doubling down on our promise to work with local artisans, manufacturers, and suppliers to create products that reflect our values and support the economy we’re proud to be a part of.
Hello Moomer’s approach is simple—we believe in sourcing only the highest-quality materials, and that means working with American textile mills, suppliers, and partners. The decision to support U.S. textile production is not just about ethical sourcing, but also about ensuring that the fabric we use for our products meets our high standards for durability, comfort, and sustainability.
By choosing American-sourced textiles, we are directly supporting local industries and ensuring that the jobs tied to these mills stay alive. This isn’t just about creating beautiful products—it’s about strengthening American labor and craftsmanship in a world that’s increasingly dependent on outsourcing.
Local Production, Global Impact
At Hello Moomer, our commitment to American-made products extends beyond textiles. We are dedicated to working with local manufacturers who adhere to the same high standards we set for our products. Every step of our production process, from design to assembly, takes place right here in the U.S. This gives us greater control over quality, reduces the impact of overseas shipping, and allows us to maintain a level of transparency that foreign supply chains simply can’t match.
As a small business, we’re also mindful of the economic benefits of working with American-based partners. Our suppliers, manufacturers, and laborers are our partners in this journey, and their success is our success. By supporting them, we’re helping to create a sustainable, thriving marketplace for American goods.
Our Commitment to Pricing and Affordability
Despite the challenges faced by the retail industry and the broader economic landscape, we want our customers to know that our pricing model will not be affected. We are fully committed to keeping our prices fair and accessible to all customers while maintaining the high quality of our products. We understand that affordability is key, which is why we are constantly looking for ways to streamline our operations and cut costs where we can—without compromising on the quality of our textiles or the labor that goes into making our products. By strengthening our relationships with American-based partners, we can continue to offer you exceptional value while supporting local businesses and communities.
Standing by Our Values
At Hello Moomer, we don’t just talk about supporting American-made products; we live it every day. Our commitment to American sourcing, production, and labor isn’t a trend—it’s a core part of who we are and what we stand for. In an era where so many companies are turning to overseas production to cut costs, we’re proudly staying true to our values.
