Native turned 3 today!! Whaaaaa?!! We celebrate, today, with our beautiful customers at the forefront of our minds. Yet and still, you aren’t our customers—you are our friends; you are a part of our family; you are the NC family. This photo was taken minutes after our very first sale, at our flagship in Chicago (some 11 months ago). It made the Chicago dream real. But, it has only become better and better, as we have grown and come to know you, one and all: you, your style, your dogs, your kids; your ups, your downs, your heartbreaks, your great moments. We have been there for all of those—and you have been there for all of ours. With it being just Rainy, Alex, and myself, you’ve come to know us, from our shortcomings and where our hearts reside. We open the doors every day not merely to sell clothing, but to be a part of your lives—and have you be a part of ours. Our motto has been, for three years: We want you to feel better when you walk out than when you walked in, however that may be. If you haven’t yet come to know us, please do. If you know us well, come celebrate the sunshine and whatever else you feel. You know where to find us. Here’s to many years to come, and many more memories and moments together. We are NC—all of us.
