She was a talented seamstress who used her sewing abilities to create custom clothing from her home in San Bernardino, CA in the mid-1970's. In 1976 she founded Geri's Clothes Line (GCL). After expanding with her sister Joanie Soldano, a screen printer, they created their fisrt imprinted apparel line. Geri's home-based business soon grew into a 3500 square foot building where we are now. Geri loves getting to know her customers and building a trusting relationship rather than being just another print shop.
