Epic Threads Botique and was thrilled to hear that they were packing suitcases full of gear to bring to the Steem Creators Conference.After 9 months on the platform… I finally have a piece of Steem Gear! I have been eying the amazing collection from the @gardenofeden -
The Garden of Eden – and why you should consider supporting them by purchasing a cool piece of Steem Gear.You have probably seen a LOT of photos of me and my sister @maryjaney rocking our new hats the last few days, but I just wanted to take a moment and call special attention to the mission and values of
Supporting Real Artists and Creators
Most pieces of Steem gear you see are mass produced through places like Amazon and the designer gets a very small chunk of the profits. With the Epic Threads Boutique, each piece is handmade by one of the amazing members of the @gardenofeden. I love knowing that my piece of gear was hand-painted with love and not just pushed through the corporate mill.
Each Product is Sustainably Sourced
One of the most wasteful parts of our culture is clothing. I personally choose to buy most of my clothes second hand for this reason. Buying brand new clothing feels a bit wasteful to me. I can hardly believe how expensive clothing can be, especially considering that most items don’t last very long for the cost. I actually did a whole POST on how I spend almost ZERO dollars on clothing by purchasing second hand, seasonally cycling, and selling back items I no longer use. So, you can see why I really jive with their mission.
There are literal TONS of clothing that get sent to landfills every year. The @gardenofeden crew uses clean items that still have a lot of life to them. This saves them from just becoming another piece of trash in the landfill. Not only are the materials responsibly sourced – but so are the paints and stencils!
This part really blew me away. At the conference, @quinneaker explained to me that they even save paint and paint supplies from the landfill. They keep an eye out for people who are trying to get rid of art supplies on Craigslist and sometimes even make their own paint supplies from scratch.
Every Sale Supports the Garden of Eden – Who Provide Tens of Thousands of Free Meals to Those in Need
Guess what? If giving away over 40,000 free meals last year wasn't enough, they actually do so much more. They also help people find shelter and a safe space for healing. After spending time with @saramiller, @everlove and @quinneaker this weekend – I am even more amazed by the work that they do and the giving spirit that they exude. I even got to have a Garden of Eden picnic in Vegas – all prepared by food they brought! It was the best meal I had the entire trip.
Besides Steem Gear - they also offer a host of other sustainably sourced and created products including:
- High Vibe Health Supplements
- Handmade Medicinal Jewelry
- Custom, Vintage and Global Accessories and Apparel
- Custom Handmade Knives
- Smoke Blends
- Tea Blends
- Uber Dank Pantry Food Items
I probably missed a few... just check out their website see all of the cool products they offer.
They Accept Steem, SBD and Other Cryptocurrencies as Payment
I think this is so revolutionary and I love that we are seeing more and more products and services available for Steem. They have really been a pioneer in this space. This option allows people to treat themselves to a cool piece of gear with some of their Steem earnings.
Their website also does accept PayPal if you would prefer to use Fiat currency instead. I should mention here that I use the word payment, but they are technically not selling anything, it is all by donation.

If feels great to finally have a piece of Steem gear, and to be supporting such a great cause at the same time. Seriously, let me know if you decide to order something! Let’s blow these guys up with support!
Xo, Lea
Good stuff for sure
Wow you sisters look SO GOOD!
So awesome to meet you and get to collaborate together. You are a rising star on Steem without a doubt.
An honor to have you wearing the most unique, creative and sustainable SteemGear on earth!
Thanks Quinn!! We both LOVE our hats and are proud to be sporting them.
It was pretty fun because a few people asked us what our hats meant while we were traveling home. Because we were both wearing bright hats with the same logo - it got people curious and we got to tell a few people about Steem.
Thats one of the best reasons to wear the hats! You promote Steem and people get interested!!!
Getting more support/value out of your posts from the steem community is a great bonus also!
Keep rocking it. SteemON!
What great ambassadors you are! What beauty you exude. So grateful to have had my hand on your hats. Super honored. This is an amazing post!!!!!!!! <3
I smile every time I wear my hat because I think of you sitting in the Garden of Eden painting it for me, @everlove! ❤️
Wish I had taken some pics of me doing it! Put lots of love in there dear @coruscate. Smiling with you! ❤️
That is so cool! I’ve got to get me some Steem gear

I can definitely attest to the quality and the feel of the cap especially knowing they hand painted the logos on as well as knowing im buying actual custom made cap and not as you said pushed through the corporate mill.
