About Us
Hi! I’m Nancy!
My goal is to make shopping easy and fun, without compromising values.
I curate collections of apparel and jewelry brands
that you can feel good about supporting.
Our Story
Once I learned about the “dark side” of the fashion industry, I couldn't shop the same anymore. I began researching brands and products in an effort to shop from those who cared about the people and those working for them. I wanted to express my personal style while staying true to our my new convictions and values.
Frustrated by the amount of time it took to research and the little I found,
I asked, “why can’t there be a store that carries brands with our shared values AND has style?” My husband responded, “why don’t YOU do it?”.
And with that, the seed was planted. We brainstormed as a family (kids have the best input!), prayed and shortly after, a store name was picked and a goal was set.

At Kin, we do the research so that you don’t have to. This way, you can do what you came here to do – shop while feeling good about the brands and people you are supporting.

WHAT'S BEHIND THE NAME?
We chose a name that represents how we enjoy living life with others, which is treating all people like family, our “next of kin”.
Trading Posts were once small shops set along trade routes where people from different countries and cultures exchanged goods, news, and stories. We see our virtual “Trading Post” creating a similar experience. Kin Trading Post is a growing family of customers, designers, brands, small businesses and artisans who want to bring the best to the market.
