Retail Apparel and FashionNorth Carolina, United States2-10 Employees

Kitsbow Apparel is a North Carolina based retailer and manufacturer focused on durable, functional clothing for cycling and active use. The company emphasizes sustainability through made-to-order production, aiming to reduce waste by producing garments only after orders are placed and offering a range of fits to minimize wasted effort and enhance comfort during hard work, riding, or relaxation. In January 2022, Kitsbow transitioned to a benefit corporation with employee ownership, prioritizing community, environmental impact, and industry change alongside profitability. The business operates primarily from Old Fort, NC, with most of its products manufactured in-house, and it has pursued expansions such as launching an online storefront for experienced and previously worn apparel in early 2023, reflecting a broader approach to circulation and reuse. In the broader retail apparel and fashion industry, Kitsbow positions itself as a small, purpose-driven producer that blends craft, style, and function while maintaining a close connection to its local region.
