AMUSA factory begins

When KIS® was asked if they could design a handbag for an impressive group of ladies, KIS® responded “we are honored, and this means a great deal to us”!

KIS® Fashions had been manufacturing overseas, until now.  It is important to KIS® to be able to create opportunities of employment here in America.  It is important to KIS® to do business with a factory that it “feels good” to do business with.

If KIS® were to send this project overseas, they would have to purchase hundreds of the same bag (minimum order requirements) and it would have taken 3 months.  That doesn’t work when you are making an exclusive design,  it doesn’t create employment in America and it doesn’t have the “feel good” element.

So, with the Jester project AMUSA (America USA)  is born.  AMUSA, LLC is a factory located in Wabasha, MN USA.  AMUSA will make all KIS® items and will work for other companies in the USA manufacturing their textile products.

The Jester - AMUSA's first project completed

Wabasha, MN, home of the ‘Grumpy Old Men’movies, and The National Eagle Center, is a lovely community along the Mississippi river and AMUSA is not only providing jobs and enhancing lives, it is giving back.

AMUSA, LLC will be giving 25% of it’s profits to Vision Loss Resources, a non-profit organization that provides valuable services to the visually and hearing impaired.  Another 25% of it’s profits are going to the local DAC, a non-profit organization that helps mentally handicapped individuals in Wabasha and surrounding communities.
