Accolade believes in a new era of consumerism. A world where customers spend their money on brands they care about, brands they believe in, brands that are a positive force in their lives. Brands that don’t just think about themselves but also the world around them. The one’s with a clear and engaging story. The ones who are innovating and doing things differently. Accolade champions these organisations and the enlightened customers who support them.
Accolade was founded on the principal due to the lack of variety of alternative sports brands and the generic brands currently available on the high street. Accolade looks to bring all the latest independent, alternative sportswear brands together into one unique online store.

Why?
After years of being let down by generic, substandard sportswear products I decided to try and find alternative brands that could fulfil my requirements. After scouring the internet, magazines, blogs and asking friends I was still no further forward and kept coming back to the same big brands.
Over the years I managed to find some incredible brands that aligned with my technical needs, values and ethos as a brands. So I added all these brands into my Evernote list and continued to build this list of brands and share it with friends. Now I want to share this list and eventually house all these brands under one awesome ecommerce site.

What's next?
Accolade is currently just an online experiment. I am reaching out to all the awesome brands on our list. This will be no easy task, but I already have some great brands onboard are confident the rest will follow. Once I have enough brands onboard I will then consider launching an affiliate/ dropship store, but for the time being this just a side project.
