Cloak & Dapper By Rosemarie Isabel
Cloak & Dapper is reviving the one stop shop delivering the highest quality goods crafted in the USA while offering a more simplified shopping experience.
Q: What was the motive behind starting Cloak & Dapper?
Cloak and dapper came out of the realization that most men just don't shop the same way women do. We also seem to rely on other peoples
opinions, be them wives, girlfriends, friends or

salespeople. So how can we educate, encourage and equip men to have a better shipping
experience? What does it take to change a man’s opinion about making shopping part of their
weekly routine? Additionally, what do men respond to right now? American-made, high quality, etc... That's the catalyst of the whole thing.

NECTAR by Juice Lab By Hadley Bushard
Since January I have really been into the juicing
craze! Doing tons of research and experimenting in my own kitchen, sometimes it's just easier to grab and go. The problem with pre juicing is that if you don't drink it immediately (from a home juicer) it
looses it's enzymes and nutrients. So juicing adds
