Big Milestones & Even Bigger Dreams 🥂
I’m incredibly humbled to share that Highlander & Co. is featured in the The Des Moines Register today!

📣Seeing our story in the paper is the perfect way to mark a major milestone:
This month is officially our one-year anniversary in business. What started as a mobile pilot a year ago has grown into a vision for something permanent here in Highland Park. But as we look toward opening our storefront in Des Moines, I reflect on a few things I want everyone to know.
❕Your Wardrobe, Our Collaboration
We believe your clothing should be a conversation, not a transaction. Because we specialize in custom, you have the largest seat at the table. We’re here to facilitate your style, giving you the final say in exactly how you present yourself to the world. It’s a collaborative process from the first measurement to the smallest details (like what color to make the threads inside the buttons on a shirt).
One key thing for us is that the clothing is only half of the value we want to provide. The other half is, the information, the community, and the experience of being taken care of. A place to ask questions, to extend your comfort zone, and to grow.
❕Not Stopping Now
While we work through the opening process, please know we are still taking clients and making some great garments!
We have some big things in store for our clients that are with us before the location opens, so if you are interested in what we are doing please reach out!
❕How You Can Help Today
If you have a moment, sharing this post or the article link would go a long way in helping us spread the word.
To everyone who has supported us over the last year: Thank you. We’re just getting started.🍻
See you soon,
