#theleap: Bringing Fashion back to America

SAN DIEGO - Oct. 8, 2015 - PRLog -- LEOPARDËT aims to bring back authentic American values while creating a minimalist and fashionable style through their new crowdfunding campaign.

It’s estimated that only 2.5% of the clothing purchased by U.S. consumers last year were made in the U.S.; a figure that is down from about 56% in 1991, according to the American Apparel & Footwear Assn.

One man is working to buck the trend by bringing back fashion made domestically here in the United States. Slated to debut a fully Made in USA line of ‘fresh and elegant styles’ through the Kickstarter platform, LEOPARDËT (http://leopardet.com/) is working to bring back authentic American values, all while creating a minimalistic fashionable style that will help America dress better.

The Kickstarter campaign is scheduled to launch on November 4th through December 10th, with the goal of raising $25,000 for the production of the fashion brand's first Made in USA line and to support the movement. The campaign will implement its own hashtag across various forms of social media. Users can either tweet out or search for #theleap by LEOPARDËT on KickStarter to show support and back the fashion crowdfunding campaign.

“I want to show America that a company run by a single man can operate in a way that is ethical and commendable, and that multi-million dollar American companies still go overseas for cheaper production,” explains Founder, Ari Jogiel. “Many millennials want to make a stand in their own lives by being socially conscious about the products they buy and where exactly those products are created. They care about movements like this that are bigger than any individual.”

Ari is hoping that they will appreciate and support all that LEOPARDËT stands for. To learn more about the upcoming Kickstarter Campaign, individuals are encouraged to follow @leopardetworld on Instagram.
