It is Shining Star Flags & Bandanas' belief that U.S. flags be manufactured and distributed in the United States in domestically owned facilities with American labor.
The beliefs, values, and dreams that the U.S. flag represents are an inalienable part of the American character and psyche. It is for this reason that we believe that Americans, regardless of their national origin, race, color, creed, or religion, should be the producers of the various materials and processes that go into making an American flag.
Shining Star Flags & Bandanas is an authorized dealer of Valley Forge Flag Company and Annin & Company, two of America's oldest Flag manufacturers and founding members of the Flag Manufacturers Association of America (FMAA). As
a result, our flags are of the highest quality and priced higher than some flags on other websites. All of the flags (U.S. and otherwise), and a large majority of the bandanas, sold on our site are 100% Made in the U.S.A.
The FMAA is committed to a daily, nationwide effort to educate the press, the public, and the various selling outlets of American flags about the importance of domestic manufacturing of U.S. flags.
Educating the country and helping to enforce the legal requirements for the clear labeling of imported products is an important role that our manufacturers take very seriously.
To that end, member manufacturers have established the FMAA Certification. This seal is the public's assurance that the flag being purchased and displayed is, in fact, Made in the U.S.A. Although several countries export flags to the U.S., the vast majority of the American public prefers U.S. flags be made in the U.S.A.
