What could be more All-American than a bikini? The people who make the bikini. Congrats to Letarte Swimwear, who just got inducted into the "Made in the USA" Hall of Fame.
The Made in the USA Foundation announced 20 winners recently at the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel in Santa Monica, California. Joel D. Joseph, Chairman of the Foundation, said, “The Hall of Fame Awards was established two years ago to celebrate the best that America produces. I have heard many times that ‘nothing is made here.’ The Hall of Fame showcases exceptional U.S. manufacturers and demonstrates that many high-quality products are made in the United States. The U.S. is still the leading manufacturing nation in the world." Letarte Swimwear is in great company, since fellow 2012 Hall of Fame winners include Herman Miller (office furniture), Chevy Volt (Electric cars), Channel islands (surfboards) and Google (software).
The iconic Maui-based label – created by sisters Lisa Letarte Cabrinha and Michele Letarte Ross – debuted the elite designs of swimwear, coordinating cover-ups and sportswear in 2000. The Hawaiian authenticity and exclusivity of the Letarte label have blended a bohemian island essence with chic global aesthetics that the sister duo have made recognizable around the globe. So forget politics -- what better way to spread the "Made in the USA" message around the world, than with a Letarte bikini?
