Hello August: Behind the Scenes at elSage, Summer 2026


Hello August!
Somehow it's taken me 7 days to process that it's August- this summer has been a delightful blur of family, fun, projects, and a little travel. Paige and I were both out of the shop for a few days last week and Jadyn held down the fort. I am ever-grateful for the small but mighty team at elSage.

elSage has been busy with custom projects (have you seen our new custom website dedicated to custom design and printing services?). We sent off more merch for Radical Roots Collective on Bainbridge Island and set NiTE theatre group up with team gear ordering for their upcoming production, Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Jonathan and I worked together on a special gift for a newlywed couple and our middle kid picked more plums than we know what to do with (just kidding, plum cake is coming soon!). Fresh arrivals landed included coffee, fabric pouches, cards, bandanas, socks, and elSage hats & totes.

We have a lot of exciting things happening this August. Look here for all the happenings!
xo,
Phoebe
