Queen City's new home at Factory 450!

We were bursting at the seams in our Church Street location.  As of January 2014 we are now based at the top of Weaver street in Winooski, just over the bridge from Burlington. We feel right at home in a town built on textiles. Winooski's beautiful mill buildings once drove a thriving textile industry in Winooski and are still the focal point of town on the Winooski River. Our new home is just up the road.

This move gives us much more space to work with and marks a transition to larger scale production that will allow us to begin selling our products to retail stores. We are finally settled in and back up an running and proud to be part of a new textile, sewing and manufacturing hub we are calling Factory 450, composed of 3 independent but complimentary businesses under one roof: Vermont Bosna Cutters, New Duds screen-printers and Queen City Dry Goods. Check out the recent 7days article featuring Factory 450.

Cabot Hosiery

I stopped by the annual Cabot Hosiery seconds sale in Northfield, Vermont yesterday.  The place was mobbed.  So cool to see some good solid Vermont manufacturing thriving!  I can't wait to visit them when the machines are running.

Holdster

If you haven't seen the Holdster yet, you should check it out! It's a Burlington, VT start up that Queen City consulted on and helped to bring from concept to reality. It's perfect for when you have a hot beverage in your favorite mason jar.

Bity Bean Baby Carrier

Queen City Dry Goods has made a small batch of samples for Vermont start up Bity Bean for their trade show debut. This will be the lightest, most compact baby carrier on the market. Best of luck at the show Doug!
