Cities around the North Shore started requiring face coverings again this week for all individuals aged two years and above in all indoor public spaces, or private spaces open to the public, except in some select cases. This means that maybe for all of us it’s time to pick up some new masks.

If you are a local vendor who sells or makes masks, let us know so we can add you to the list by sending an email to info@creativecollectivema.com with the subject heading “Masks from Local Makers.”

The light blue disposable masks are handy in a pinch, but wouldn’t it be more fun to make a statement with your face? We definitely think so. There are so many choices of patterns, colors, and textures to choose them.

Make safety a fashion opportunity with some of our favorite mask makers North of Boston.
