FAQ

Question 1

Where do product donations go?

Answer

Since our mission derives from the Spirit of Detroit, we believe in the importance of protecting and supporting the parts of the city we love and want to see around for years to come. Every year it costs the city about $6,000 to maintain the patina paint on the Spirit of Detroit and another $2–3,000 extra to maintain the gold paint every 5 years. That is why we are working with the city of Detroit to build a foundation for the Spirit of Detroit.
It is our long-term goal to 100% offset the cost of the maintainance of the Spirit through donations alone and that's why we are committed to donating 11% of all our merchandise proceeds and 100% of all our meditation proceeds to The Spirit of Detroit Foundation.

Question 2

Are your products all locally sourced?

Answer

We love to support local and support small. Our apparel distributer is a mid-west native, but our garment decorator is a Michigan local company. Please reach out if you know of any resources we should look in to local to Metro-Detroit.

Question 3

How are you working to support the Detroit community?

Answer

To us, providing an outlet for the Detroit community to come together is the most important part of what we do. In efforts to bring the community together in light of the postive vision for growth we have as a collective, we host SPIRiTED MEDITATIONS on our Facebook community The SPIRiTED Community. We also offer community service efforts like Box Tops for Detroit Education and school supply drives with future plans for foster home duffel bags, homeless community coat drives and more.

Question 4

Do you have a storefront?

Answer

We currently do not have a storefront. We conduct our sales online and through local pop-up events.

Question 5

Do you collaborate?

Answer

We love to collaborate with fellow Detroiters! We have collaborated with photographers, bloggers, podcast hosts and the sky is the limit for more collaborations. Visit the COLLAB TAB if you are interested in working with us, volunteering, sharing your story or even just to say hi!

Question 6

Why 11%?

Answer

We donate 11% of our proceeds to the maintanance of The Spirit of Detroit because we believe in protecting and supporting the momument that represents our city and that we built our mission from. You commonly see donations of 10% because it's a whole, round number but we are donating 11% for two reasons. 1. 11 is a spiritual number that embodies our beliefs as a brand. 2. It's that extra 1% that we can give to do to give more to give back to the community.
