The Company Store Review | Winter Accessories | Baby Alpaca Waffle Knit Hat Gloves Scarf | Burberry Daylesmoore Wool Coat | Ann Taylor Jacket

I am very excited to share a line of clothing that is critical to anyone living in cold climates: winter accessories! I came across The Company Store this fall & fell in love with this Wisconsin-based company. If you know me, then you know I grew up in Wisconsin and love supporting companies who give back and support their local communities.

For The Company Store, that means their origins in La Crosse, Wisconsin and proud support of: Ronald McDonald House, Avon 39, Operation Homefront, Wrap a Warrior, Buy One Give One,  Partners in Health and Tuck a Child in for the Holidays. From their story to their charity work and of course, their mission to bring customers everyday style and comfort, I was in awe. Today, I’m writing about Winter Accessories with The Company Store Review.

This is part of my Giving Back Series – more posts HERE.

The Company Store Story

Have you heard of The Company Store? Do you know their story? Their founders first opened their store in 1911, known as The La Crosse Garment Company. Six generations later and they continue to manufacturer natural cotton and large-cluster European down right in La Crosse, Wisconsin – giving them complete control over their product quality!

Giving Back: The Company Store Cares

If you know me, then you know I place a high value on brand/company quality and customer service. So when I saw the extensive work The Company Store does in giving back to the community & those in need – I was thrilled!

Through the Buy One, Give One program, The Company Store has donated a comforter to a child with every comforter purchased from our website or catalog – helping to send 16,735 comforters to 88 locations throughout 33 states.

The Company Store is committed to giving back locally and worldwide to those in need. Here are is a listing of organizations they have supported. It’s so refreshing to see companies who uphold these values in our profit-driven world.

  • Ronald McDonald House: donations include including pajamas, blankets, sheets, towels and mattress pads
  • Avon 39: donate $5 for every order placed in October that includes an item from our Avon 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer Collection
  • Operation Homefront: donated 10,000 comforters to provide comfort and warmth to the families of America’s veterans and military service members and Company Kids® has donated over 6,000 backpacks, messenger bags, lunch boxes, pencil cases, wallets and pens to Operation Homefront’s “Back to School” program
  • Wrap a Warrior: donated comforters to American Troops serving in Afghanistan
  • Buy One, Give One: donated a comforter to a child with every comforter purchased from our website or catalog
  • Partners in Health: distributed more than 6,000 sheet sets, towels, and blankets through Partners In Health®, as the non-profit organization continues providing supplies and medical services to Haiti
  • Tuck a Child in for the Holidays: for every comforter that was sold, a fleece blanket was gifted to the Ronald McDonald House of NY to comfort a child with pediatric cancer

Plus, The Company Store was featured as one of 36 companies that actually give back HERE on Buzzfeed. Read more about The Company Store Cares Programs HERE.

Winter Accessories: Baby Alpaca Waffle Knit Hat, Gloves, Scarf 

First off, you know I live in Los Angeles. So why do I need winter accessories right now? Well, I travel to winter climates! I frequently visit Salt Lake City – I lived here for 2 years during my residency training – and of course believe that Utah has the best skiing! I go back at least a few times per year. In addition, I’m from Wisconsin and still go back to visit family in Wisconsin. Follow my Instagram posts & stories to see my winter travels in February!

I picked out The Company Store’s Baby Alpaca winter accessory line & LOVE all 3 items. Why do I love them? 

  • Designed to seamlessly coordinate with one another
  • 2 options for gloves: Tech Gloves or Waffle Knit – I went back & forth about which style to purchase and ultimately decided that I wanted flexibility to use my smartphone without taking off my gloves
  • Baby Alpaca yarn: As someone with sensitive skin I’m always worried about winter accessories/sweaters being itchy and scratchy. I was very pleasantly surprised by how soft the baby alpaca yarn is!
  • Waffle Knit: The thick waffle knit design on the hat and infinity scarf helps keep me warm on chilly days!
  • Classic style: The Company Store offers these winter accessories year after year (with a few updates or color changes)

Baby Alpaca Waffle Knit Hat

  • Topped with a handmade pompom!
  • Slouchy design for a casual look
  • Wear 2 different ways: Straight back or Rolled Hem
