Sisters Melissa Ganey and Kaitlin Combs launched their new business 907 Clothing Co. in February, and so far feedback on their ornate, nautical designs has been great, Ganey said.

The company offers every manner of clothing from T-shirts and hoodies to leggings and baby onesies printed with Combs’ original art.

“I’ve always wanted to do a clothing line, and Kaitlin I know is a fantastic artist, so after she sold the Hungry Moose, I thought, ‘This is a great time to do a sister business,’” Ganey said.

Combs’ designs are inspired by the Alaskan outdoors – humpback whales, octopuses, lupines, fishing boats – and other favorite images, like peacock feathers.

Custom orders have been a big hit, Ganey said, with customers able to pick the clothing item, design, color and positioning of the image.

907 Clothing Co. products are available through several retailers around town, and Ganey said she is actively marketing her clothes outside of Haines.

“Our goal is to have it all over Alaska,” she said. “We are working on contacting stores all over right now.”

Ganey also owns A Lasting Expression, a vinyl wall decal company.
