I hope by now we can all agree that wearing a mask when you leave your house, or when you’re around other people, is crucial to slowing the spread of COVID-19. The US of A has done a pretty pisspoor job of flattening the curve, and many local governments have chosen to re-open their cities way too quickly. Which means we all need to do our part to cover our germy faces and slow the spread of the virus. After a little crowd sourcing on Instagram (thank you for all your suggestions!), I’ve rounded up my favorite mask sellers — most of whom use scrap or deadstock fabric, and are engaging in some kind of buy one/give one or charitable donation program.
Miss Tashina
Cloth masks made from deadstock vintage fabrics. They offer adult size, teen size — which is great if you’re a gal with a small face, and kids’ size. Nose wire, filter slot, and over ear elastics (tie in a knot to adjust). Shop here.
