My name is Drew—some of you may remember me from my column “Sole Stories,” which was published in the Clarion throughout the fall of 2019. This time, I am excited to share with the DU community the company that I have started named Edward Joiner.
Edward Joiner is a lifestyle apparel brand based on minimalism, quality materials and sustainable practices. I started the company in the beginning of 2020 because of my passion for clothing and fashion design. While we are all at home trying to stay safe from COVID-19, I thought this would be a great opportunity to reach out and write about something positive and exciting.
Edward Joiner is in its infancy, but we are currently working on our first ever collection. The brand takes many cues from French culture, so we have decided to name our first collection “Première Collection.” This collection includes a black garment made in Canada with 100 percent cotton. The garment is a midweight, 12-ounce hoodie with a traditional kanga pocket. If you want to see more of what it looks like as well as other behind-the-scenes insights to the collection, check out @edwardjoinerofficial on Instagram.
As of right now, our website for the company is not open to the public, but we do highly suggest for you to subscribe to our newsletter. We will use the newsletter as a community alert system to allow those who are subscribed to know about when the site opens up and when products release. Our website is http://edwardjoiner.com. We welcome anyone who is interested in the brand to subscribe!
As our community grows, we would love to connect with anyone who is a fan of the brand’s direction. Edward Joiner focuses not only on building quality garments but also on building quality relationships with those who are interested in the products and the content.
