Getting College Coeds To Show Made in America Spirit In Dorm Design

With August just a few months away, there's no time like the present for college students to jump the Buy American bandwagon. What better way to support the movement by outfitting their dorm rooms with all-American products?

That's what the company American Made Dorm has set out to do, bringing a wide array of U.S.-produced bedding, rugs and other dorm-related accessories in a variety of hip and youthful designs together in one place.

An estimated 2 million American students will be moving into campus housing in 2012, spending an estimated $46 billion to furnish their rooms and potentially creating 500,000 new jobs nationwide if used on American-made dorm furnishings.

Founded last September in Louisville, Ky., the women-owned American Made Dorm seeks to connect coeds with a Made in America conscience with high-quality U.S.-made wares manufactured at a mill in South Carolina. The retailer distributes online as well as through suppliers in North Carolina, Georgia and Massachusetts in addition to South Carolina and Kentucky.
