Yana Dee Blog — Traverse City

Ahh fall! It's time to bundle up, dress up, and appreciate the softer, warmer, cozier things in life. It's also a great time to add some extra drama & flare to your outfits. What better way to do all that, than by wearing some beloved clothes from Yana Dee? Mild fall weather is perfect for butter leggings, dress coats, and organic cotton waffle knits.

We believe in what we are doing. In a global economic landscape that overproduces cheap consumer goods at high externalized cost, we are offering an alternative that centers quality, community, and compassion for our world. When you shop at Yana Dee, you are actively participating in an alternative economy. We appreciate everyone that has ever "bought in" to our vision for a better world.
