Masks on Cherokee Street

To slow the spread of COVID-19, the CDC now recommends the use of cloth face coverings in public, where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. In response, local businesses have adapted and are now focusing on producing non-medical masks to support our community through this pandemic.

Many of these businesses are even paying it forward by donating proceeds to essential workers and funds.

Support local and check out the list below of mask-making Cherokee Street businesses.

Ever wonder what’s going on in the workshop on the corner of Cherokee and Texas? It’s the shop that’s been making Snake Bite Co. products since 2014, now known as Well Made Workshop. Well Made Workshop’s design approach keeps function and approachability at the forefront. Their box-pleated, contoured masks have adjustable, elastic ties and are available in five and ten packs on their website

A portion of proceeds will be donated to Show Up For Cherokee, which helps provide short term relief to employees and business owners on Cherokee Street who are out of work due to the coronavirus pandemic.
