ABOUT MADE SOUTH
MADE SOUTH was created by Nashville native and fourth generation Tennessean Chris Thomas, who is passionate about reshaping the way people think about Southerners. In an effort to bring regional craftsmen and artisans into the national spotlight, Thomas hosts MADE SOUTH events across the Southeast where producers and consumers can meet, and where the creativity of Southern goods is celebrated and supported. In addition to supporting these artisans, MADE SOUTH also produces its own locally made goods, such as coloring books, apparel and more, found in the online shop, and recently acquired Eli Mason Cocktail Mixers.
