Fortunately, there are some parts of our hometown that are 100% awesome and unpretentious, like the new Portland Made movement: "unique, quality, goods supporting a local artisan and manufacturing economy." What's not to love?

Check out their launch video below, with plenty of action shots of GladRags & menstrual cup bags being made! Oh, Portland, despite your occasional silliness, we really do love you.
