Cape Business Owner Wins Mask Design Contest - September 2020

"Speakeasy was chosen after hundreds of other companies entered the contest. Issues regarding sizing, ear loops, speaking, and more were addressed in the award-winning design. The washable and reusable mask is adjustable in size and can be totally sealed around the face while also allowing for easy breathing and talking, Salvon added, due to the loose fabric. The design has non-coronavirus uses, too; Salvon said that the mask can also be worn as a scarf or a headband.

While she could not have imagined doing so at the start of the year, Salvon said that she’s glad to be able to produce a product that can help the local community practice a healthier and more comfortable lifestyle in the age of COVID-19."
