Are We Just Walking Billboards? Where Do You Buy Local?

I’ve always been into branded clothes, caps, shoes. But recently a thought hit me and I couldn’t ignore it. We literally pay brands so we can advertise for them. Our bodies = free real estate for their logos. Wild, right? (Guess that’s the marketer in me overthinking lol.) So now I’m wondering… what are some solid local shops that curate quality stuff from local manufacturers? Clothes, footwear, accessories...whatever!! I’ve never really shopped local so if you’ve got recommendations drop em!
