ISS & Vegas Adventures

We wanted to shard some recent adventures in Las Vegas for the ISS (Imprinted Sportswear Show).  As a brand we are always trying to discover new ideas, products and ways to improve production and our collections.  We are looking to expand our line to include head wear and accessories.  We are extremely picky about the products that we used and spent hours upon hours searching for the perfect hats for men and women.  We are in the process of whittling down the candidates to find the perfect fit, colors and materials.

It would be a crime to only work while in Vegas, so we took sometimes to explore the strip, pool and the cuisine.

While there we also squeezed in an impromptu photo shoot with some of our newest tees and crops.

Rare Trips: Unique LA

On the first weekend in May, The Rare Ones Crew had the opportunity to attend the largest made-in-america shopping event, Unique LA. This two-day event was held at the penthouse of the California Market Center located in downtown Los Angeles. With over 350 designers and artists shoppers were able to discover an assortment of products including handcrafted jewelry and accessorizes, decedent cookies and cakes, fragrant candles and oils, as well as fun t-shirts, tanks and hoodies.

One of favorite parts of the shopping event was tasting all of the delicious foods for sale. Our friends at Joia were kind enough to provide every shopper with a free soda. That's right FREE!!! Joia, from the Boundary Waters Brands, is an all natural soda blended together with a combination of fruits, herbs and spices. Each flavor is made from scratch with all made with natural ingredients; nothing artificial. Joia offers flavors such as Pineapple coconut & nutmeg, Lime hibiscus & clove, Grapefruit chamomile & cardamom, Blackberry pomegranate & ginger, Orange jasmine & nutmeg and Ginger apricot & allspice. Get your own case of Joia All Natural Soda at places such as Wholefoods and Caribou Coffee.

Another great vendor that was featured at the show was Luna creator of delicious and nutritious bars. For those who have never tried Luna bars they are great for each individuals dietary needs. Luna bars come in a varieties such as diary-free, gluten-free, high protein and high fiber. They come in an Joes, Walmart and Wholefoods.

We highly recommend trying their new protein flavors: Lemon Vanilla and Chocolate Coconut Almond. Luna bars can be purchased at most local grocery stores including Target, Trader


The Awesome Candle based out of Los Angeles, is another great shop that we had the privilege to come across.

New Collection: Tote bags by The Rare Ones

The Rare Ones is pleased to announce that we have expanded our collection to include eco-friendly tote bags.   Los Angelenos have had to make a change in our grocery shopping routine.  In an effort to reduce waste Los Angeles passed a plastic bag ban earlier this year.   All grocery stores are prohibited from providing customers with plastic grocery bags at checkout.  Now when we go to the grocery store we can bring our own bags or pay 10 cents per paper bag at checkout. :-( Instead of carrying old plastic bags we have decided to invest in awesome reusable cotton bags.

Customize you own tote bag with names, numbers or any of our other embroidered images.

Rare Trips: American Apparel Factory

Happy Monday!

I love my weekly trips to the American Apparel factory in Downtown Los Angeles.  

For those of you who are not familiar with American Apparel, they are a North American based clothing company that specializes in awesome basics.  This vertically integrated company is one of the only clothing brands that make all of their own products and is sweatshop-free.  

When searching for the perfect t-shirt we explored countless brands.  We finally chose American Apparel based on the fair treatment of their employees and their political activism.  
In addition to the being active in their community American Apparel t-shirts 

are comfortable, high quality and have a great fit.

We are currently in the process of expanding our product line.  We are working on bringing new color options, styles and accessories to our collection.   

Stay tuned for new products and special offers from The Rare Ones.
