Our Community

Makers

We’ve carefully chosen our community of makers and collaborators - thoughtful, skilled craftspeople across the British Isles who pour passion and purpose into their work.

  • The Printer’s Devil

    To produce our text designs, we work with Stephen Kenny of The Printer’s Devil - a letterpress studio based in Hackney, East London.

    We were drawn to both his process and his passion - and loved getting hands-on in the studio with him, selecting type and working the press ourselves.

    The vintage type blocks Stephen has are as old as, or even older than, my dad. They have the scratches and marks of a life well lived - bringing a unique richness and depth to the designs.

  • CWT

    To produce our organic cotton t-shirts, we work with Karandeep at CWT, a family-run factory in Leicester.

    CWT began life three generations ago in a coal shed, where two brothers started fixing clothes with a couple of sewing machines, and grew into a trusted local manufacturer known for quality and craftsmanship.

    We chose to work with CWT because they share our belief in doing things properly - taking time, using the best, sustainably sourced materials, and making products that last.

  • Caledonia Hosiery

    To make our socks, we work with Caledonia Hosiery - a small, family-run factory in a beautiful area just outside Inverness, Scotland, led by second-generation sock-maker Steve Elton.

    Steve is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to sock-making, and we love his passion and enthusiasm for quality, and for getting the details right. He only uses high-quality yarns sourced as close to home as possible, and every single sock is checked at every point in the production process.

As well as our makers, this project wouldn’t exist without the many people who have advised, supported and worked with us along the way.
