3 Eco-Chic Indie Labels To Know For Summer Tees, Tanks & Intimates
Flore Flore, a Dutch brand, has emerged as a chic women owned brand with a chic, minimalist silhouette. As summer rolls in, so does the quest for the perfect T-shirt—not just any tee, but one that feels as good as it looks, crafted from fabrics that are kind to both your skin and the planet. Enter: Flore Flore, Jungmaven, and Cou Cou Intimates—three indie labels with cult followings and a shared commitment to minimalist silhouettes, thoughtful craftsmanship, and sustainable production. While each brand brings its own aesthetic and ethos to the table, one thing is clear: the humble T-shirt is no longer basic—it's essential, elevated, and unapologetically feminine. Flore Flore's short-sleeved thong bodysuit is crafted in Portugal from a high-quality, heavyweight organic cotton blend, brushed for an ultra-soft feel. Launched in the summer of 2021 in Amsterdam by Flòrian van Zuilen, Flore Flore, a women-owned brand, hails from a rich lineage of fashion. Drawing from international experiences across New York, Copenhagen, and beyond, van Zuilen set out to create a line of understated, chic basics that blend comfort with quality. Drawing on romantic touches and classic tailoring, the label nods to women who like to blend art, fashion, and design. Known for its elevated organic cotton basics — notably its T-shirts, tank tops and boydsuits — Flore Flore emphasizes ease without sacrificing fit. Heritage and craftsmanship meet modern, feminine sensibility. Each piece, made in Portugal, undergoes meticulous fittings to perfect its silhouette. The label has quickly cultivated a devoted following, with its minimalist pieces now stocked alongside luxury brands in e-commerce sites (Moda Operandi) and boutiques from Brooklyn to Seoul. Long before sustainability became a buzzword, USA-made Jungmaven (est 2005) was quietly leading the way. Long before sustainability became a buzzword, Jungmaven was quietly leading the way. Founded in California in 2005 by Robert Jungmann, the brand's mission centers on hemp—a crop that uses half the water of cotton, requires no pesticides, and improves soil health. Jungmaven believes what we wear should be as thoughtful as it is functional. Working with hemp isn't without challenges. Its natural variability makes processing more difficult than conventional fibers, leading to higher fabric waste—up to 15%, compared to cotton's 2%. Despite these hurdles, Jungmaven's good-looking collection of tees, denim, and everyday staples delivers durability, comfort, and understated beauty—offering raw, undyed options like the 'wash-white' line that showcase hemp's natural appeal—and proving that fashion can be responsible and effortlessly cool. London-based Cou Cou Intimates leans into a soft feminine look with a line made of 100% organic cotton. Each piece from London-based Cou Cou Intimates is crafted from 100% organic cotton—a sustainably sourced, fully compostable fabric that's gentle on both the earth and skin. Founded in 2021 by Rose Colcord, the brand was born from the desire to create practical, stylish, and comfortable organic cotton underwear while challenging fashion's throwaway culture with soft cotton essentials . Cou Cou has quickly become a favorite for those seeking comfort, style, and substance. Its collection—favored by fans like Sabrina Carpenter and Kendall Jenner—features breezy, breathable basics cut from soft cotton voile, delicate enough to feel luxurious yet durable for everyday wear. This week, Cou Cou is hosting a week-long pop-up at 135 Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg (through June 8th), showcasing flattering, body-positive fits for all shapes and sizes.

Every dollar will be donated directly to his family. 'What began as a Kansas City Metro initiative quickly grew far beyond what we could have imagined—reaching all 50 states, 14 countries and numerous U.S. military bases,' the Eddings' said in a news release. Production is now set to begin. Starting Monday, the store said it began ordering and printing more than 36,000 items – folding each one by hand and preparing to ship to more than 32,000 addresses. 'This is no small task, but one we are honored to take on,' the Eddings' said. 'As a small, family-owned business with just 16 employees, we're grateful to the friends, family members and local departments who've offered to volunteer their time to help us with folding and packaging.' The Eddings' are asking for patience as they work to ship the tens of thousands of orders. They said the original May 19 ship date was based on an estimated few thousand local orders—a total that was greatly surpassed. KC firefighter's death highlights rise in violence against health care workers nationwide 'We never dreamed the response would be this monumental,' they said. 'While we wish we could ship as fast as Amazon, that simply isn't our reality. But what we offer is heart, dedication and the promise that your order will be filled with care.'

Kansas City T-shirt company raises over $85K for family of fallen KCFD firefighter-medic
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It has only been two days since Kansas City firefighter-paramedic Graham Hoffman was killed in the line of duty, and local organizations are already stepping up to support his family in the wake of the tragedy. Joe and Dawn Eddings of — a firefighter-owned shop in Kansas City, Missouri, specializing in USA-made shirts, polos, jackets and other clothing — released a new and to raise funds for his family. Funeral service planned for fallen Kansas City firefighter, paramedic Graham Hoffman 'We were approached by some firefighters who wanted to do something to help support the family during this time with any financial burdens that may come along. So what we have to offer is T-shirts,' Joe said. 'That's what we do for a living. We print T-shirts. But surprisingly, it's a powerful tool for raising money.' Since the shop released its new design, less the 24 hours ago, the orders have been accumulating rapidly. And according to the owners, the funds are adding up to more than they could have imagined. 'I think last I checked it was somewhere in the neighborhood of $85,000 raised, you know, just from a T-shirt. But that's the power of community when people come together and support a cause like this,' Joe said. The shirt, which features a graphic design on the front and back, showcases the crest of Kansas City Fire Department Station 42, the station where Hoffman was permanently assigned at the time of his death. On the back, the words 'pumper' and 'medic' can be seen, as well as the crest surrounded by fire in the colors of the American flag. According to the shop, orders have come in from a number of cities and countries around the world. Some shirts have been ordered and processed for far-off states, like Oregon, and others are being prepared for completely different continents, like Australia. 'People from all across the country have been ordering them,' Eddings said. 'I mean, they're coming in by the dozens. That's the power of community when people come together and support a cause like this.' Piper High School student dies after suffering medical episode in class Through all the success and the orders, the Eddings could have chosen to use these proceeds to benefit the growth of e2 Embroidery & Screen Printing. But Joe said that was never the point. The entrepreneur dedicated 27 years to the fire service before retiring a couple of years ago, and after hearing the tragic story of Hoffman's death, he knew he needed to help in any way possible. 'We're very proud just to be a part of it. Even though I didn't know Graham personally, he was still a brother of mine, you know? So it's a very strong brotherhood and sisterhood. And in times of need, we come together to support each other,' Joe said. All proceeds will go to the Hoffman family, and as the orders continue to pour in, the Eddings say they are grateful for all the people who ordered a shirt and contributed to the Hoffman family fund. 'Logistically, it's going to be trying, but hey, we're here for it. So, if we have to print overnight for two weeks, then that's what we'll do. I think the employees are on board with it, too. Everyone is behind this effort. So we're going to do whatever it takes,' Joe explained. They are currently preparing to make and ship all of the orders and say that the shirt will be available until May 9.

Texas Blimps Elevates Brand Marketing with USA-Made Helium Advertising Solutions.
Helium Advertising Balloons Made in the USA. Texas Blimps, led by owner Johnny Mulder, offers innovative helium advertising balloons and blimps that transform ordinary marketing into memorable aerial spectacles. These USA-manufactured inflatables create instant visual impact, drawing attention from miles away and forming lasting emotional connections with viewers. Specializing in high-quality polyurethane products that outlast PVC alternatives, Texas Blimps creates custom solutions for grand openings, festivals, sporting events, and more. DALLAS, TX - April 25, 2025 - Remember the last time something floating in the sky made you look up and smile? Texas Blimps is banking on that exact reaction as they help businesses elevate their marketing—quite literally—with eye-catching helium advertising balloons and blimps that transform ordinary promotions into unforgettable aerial spectacles. 'In a world where people are bombarded with thousands of ads daily, most of which they scroll right past, our helium balloons and blimps create a 'can't miss' moment,' says Johnny Mulder, owner and manufacturer of Texas Blimps' USA-made advertising balloons, blimps, and custom helium inflatables. 'When a 13-foot blimp with your logo is floating above an event, people don't just notice—they point, smile, and remember who you are.' Taking Marketing to New Heights (Literally) Mulder's company offers an impressive array of inflatable advertising solutions that bring a sense of wonder and playfulness to marketing campaigns. From car dealerships floating miniature automobiles above their lots to retailers creating festive atmospheres for grand openings, these helium masterpieces do more than advertise—they create experiences. 'One of my favorite success stories,' Mulder shares with a grin, 'was helping a pizza chain launch a new location with a giant floating slice that could be seen from three neighborhoods away. They had their biggest opening weekend ever, and people still talk about 'the pizza in the sky' months later.' The Science Behind the Spectacle Not all floating advertisements are created equal, and Mulder is passionate about educating his clients on the difference. 'I tell everyone who calls: Never—and I mean never—buy a blimp made of PVC!' Mulder emphasizes, his voice carrying the conviction of someone who's seen too many inferior products deflate both literally and figuratively. 'Our polyurethane blimps might cost a bit more initially, but they outlast the competition by years, not months. When it comes to aerial advertising, going cheap just means watching your marketing dollars float away.' Texas Blimps' products combine serious marketing power with undeniable fun factor. Their advertising solutions create instant landmarks, guiding potential customers with the precision of a GPS, but with considerably more charm. Made in the USA, Soaring Everywhere Every product from Texas Blimps is proudly manufactured in the United States, with Mulder overseeing production to ensure each floating advertisement meets his exacting standards. 'We can make almost anything float,' Mulder says, his enthusiasm infectious. 'We've created giant pigs for barbecue restaurants, massive sports mascots for college events, and even Halloween witches that took social media by storm. If you can dream it, we can probably make it hover majestically above your business.' The versatility of these inflatable marvels makes them ideal for grand openings, product launches, festivals, sporting events, and even political campaigns—anywhere a business needs to stand out from the crowd and create a memorable impression. Investing in Unforgettable While digital marketing campaigns vanish with a click and print advertisements end up in recycling bins, Mulder points out that the emotional connection formed when someone looks up and sees a massive, colorful balloon carries lasting impact. 'Our clients tell us all the time that customers mention the 'big balloon' or 'flying blimp' months after an event,' Mulder notes. 'That's the kind of brand recognition you can't get from a Facebook ad that disappears in seconds. Plus, there's something inherently joyful about balloons—they make people happy, and happy people become happy customers.' About Texas Blimps Founded by Johnny Mulder, Texas Blimps manufactures all its advertising balloons, blimps, and inflatable advertising solutions in the USA. The company offers one of the largest selections of cold-air inflatables and helium advertising products available for sale, service, and rental, helping businesses create excitement and deliver their message effectively from heights of up to 200 feet.
