SHS GRAD LAUNCHES CLOTHING LINE FOR ‘BRAINS’

Bigger Brain, LLC, a new line of savvy street clothing, celebrates intelligence and education. The brain child of Sage Saccomanno, who graduated from Sandpoint High School in 2020 and is now a chemistry major at Bard College, Bigger Brain LLC is a chic clothing line that aims to educate, empower, and encourage youth to pursue a higher education.

As a student at Sandpoint High School, Saccomanno said that she often felt like she needed to camouflage the fact that she was smart and enjoyed learning. “I felt a huge pressure to hide how much I liked education and school in order to be deemed as cool by my peers. After coming to college and being in an environment that allowed my academics to thrive, I realized just how much of a mistake that high school thought of mine was,” she said.

Surrounded by creative students at Bard College, Saccomanno decided to make a difference by developing a clothing line that unapologetically applauds intelligence. “The inspiration for this brand came from my current self realizing how much I loved education and how much my younger self would have benefited from a cool brand encouraging youth to be confident and passionate about their studies,” Saccomanno said.

A successful Kickstarter campaign made it possible for Bigger Brain, LLC to donate Smart in Style shirts to schools in the Lake Pend Oreille School District, and the first line of clothing will hit the website soon.
