Hello Sunday.

We’re back. Earlier this year we announced the launch of our CHStoday online shop, designed to bring you the best local gear to show your Charleston pride and celebrate local landmarks, creatives, brands, events + more. We’re still doing that — but we changed a few things (for the better). |

Enter: Six & Main. That’s right — we’re back with a new name and completely new look. We listened to your feedback from our online store survey and made the changes you wanted to see, including a more user-friendly layout to make shopping easier and updated creative + brand pages so you can learn more about the local creators and brands featured.
New products include exclusively designed local merchandise like: - More city sweatshirts
-
New trucker hats
- Freshly designed mugs
- Stickers
- Hoodies
And more.

Shop your local favorites on the Six & Main website. | Photo provided by Six & Main

Now, to continue our mission of celebrating local, we are looking for local creatives + brands to work with us at Six & Main.
If you’re a local creative that wants to collaborate with us (think: seeing your artwork displayed on our products and getting paid for it), we want to hear from you. And if you’re a local brand (locally-made hats, cocktail bitters, or dog leashes) we would love to stock your stuff on our virtual shelves.
Tell us about yourself or your brand in one of these surveys so we can get to know each other — who knows, we could be working together soon.
We hope you love our revamped storefront as much as we do, Charleston. Happy shopping. |

Editor's pick: Happy Monday, Charleston. If you're anything like me, the past few weeks have felt like a whirlwind of events. Kicking off a brand new week, I thought I'd reflect on the past week and identify one highlight of the last seven days. This way, time doesn't feel like it's getting away from me too much, right?
Last Thursday, my mom and I went to Toast to Spoleto 2022, hosted by The Local Palate. I have to say: This was one of the most fun outings I've had in the last couple weeks.
Between delicious slices from Dough Boyz Pizza, amazing sandwiches from The Pass, and gorgeous scenery at this local historic home, it's safe to say I left with a full stomach + a full heart. Our community is just so special.
What was the highlight of your week? Let me know. Y'all know I love to hear from you. Missed Friday's newsletter? Discover 10 unique parks to explore in Charleston here. |
