MADE SOUTH is a platform that celebrates the makers and artisans of the South. Founded by Christopher Thomas in 2014, MADE SOUTH started as a subscription box business and has since evolved into creating engaging event experiences. Their annual Holiday Market, held in Franklin, Tennessee, showcases the magic of Southern craftsmanship with talented makers and artisans bringing their creations to life. In addition to events, MADE SOUTH also offers consulting and speaking services, drawing from Christopher's extensive experience in National Advertising for Dave Ramsey's organization. They have welcomed over 35,000 guests to their events and have launched or invested in other successful brands such as Eli Mason, Good Southerner, and Tri-Star Media. MADE SOUTH also offers cozy cottages for a relaxing getaway in Tracy City, TN, near Monteagle and Sewanee.
