Design Feast Series: Quotes

“Shea and Raan Parton, Founders and Partners of Apolis, on Relationships: “Since we’ve started, we’ve always seen personal relationships as being so important. And with any retailer we work with, we always see it as being an extension of our brand. Ryan and Sam [of Context Clothing] are just the best example of people that we consider our closest friends. They’re our first retailer out of Madison, Wisconsin. Ryan and Sam really take time to storytell about where products come from, also about the hands that produced those products.

Our philosophy for this idea of a global citizen basically comes down to the foundation of quality, and taking a part of a story of craft, whether it’s domestic or global. It’s a human story, and it’s taking a part of that story, then carrying it with you as you go.”
