Route One Apparel, the area’s original online source for trendy and affordable Maryland pride apparel and accessories, has garnered a lot of attention for its line of eye-catching masks and face coverings since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. And the company recently made headlines again, thanks to a new customer – Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, who sported several different Route One Apparel face coverings on the sidelines during both the regular and post seasons.

Earlier this month, WJZ visited the Route One Apparel headquarters and talked to owner and CEO Ali von Paris about seeing her masks on national television.

And Baltimore Style recently spoke with von Paris about Route One Apparel’s journey over the past year, overcoming the initial challenges of the pandemic to set new sales records, while making donations to local healthcare workers and others on the front lines.
