Organic and recycled home goods and apparel for all; hand printed in Chicago!

Earth Cadets is a company committed to creating unique, hand printed home goods and clothing for the whole family while respecting our environment. All Earth Cadets' products are designed and hand screen printed in Chicago by owner, Krissy Callahan, using eco-friendly, water-based inks and incorporating organic and recycled materials wherever possible. 

Hi! I'm Krissy. The owner, designer and printer at Earth Cadets.

My journey started with a love of t-shirts and making my own with puffy paints and iron-on transfers. (I mean who doesn't love a white sweat suit with chicks and bunnies outlined in pastel purple?)

Many years later, when I moved to Chicago, I found local places that teach screen printing. I took several beginners classes and then embarked on building out a studio in my basement. 

From there, Earth Cadets was created.
