Support your Guild! Buy a CBBG logo shirt, hoodie, apron, or tote.
Proceeds from your purchase support our partnership project with Northwest tribes and tribal members to produce an Indigenous Basketry Map.
This map will showcase tribal regions and basketry styles as well as basketry plants and ecosystems. The Indigenous Basketry Map is a much-needed resource for exhibits, outreach, and education, uplifting the traditional art of basketry.
We are using an online drop-shipping company called Bonfire for this campaign.
FAQ:
What merchandise is available? Long- and short-sleeved T-shirts, tank tops, hoodies, sweatshirts, aprons, and totes, in various colors. All items carry a CBBG logo, either our primary traditional logo or our anniversary logo.
What is Bonfire? Bonfire is an online platform that allows organizations like CBBG to design and sell custom apparel without having to maintain costly, space-consuming inventory.
How does it work? Peruse the Columbia Basin Basketry Guild Online Shop just as you would any other online store. Select your item(s). Bonfire will custom create your item(s) and ship to you. This process will take 10-14 days, which is longer than buying non-customized apparel, so please be patient.
Does CBBG make money on sales? Yes! And for this campaign we will put all proceeds toward creation of an Indigenous Basketry Map.
Bonfire seems expensive. Why did you choose it? We were impressed with the quality of their clothing. Their items are 100% cotton and heavier than less expensive options. They offer organic cotton apparel and Allmade brand shirts. Allmade’s mission is to produce garments with less impact on the environment that also provide fair wage jobs in ethically operated workplaces. For information on each item, click “Size & fabric info” on the item detail page. Every item is made on-demand, so the prices reflect this customization; the clothes are not “fast fashion,” so the prices are higher. We also have found Bonfire’s sizing to be accurate and typical for unisex garments (be sure and look carefully at the size chart before purchasing).
Do I pay shipping? Yes, standard shipping rates are calculated when you check out.
