Who we are

Hatch and Make is a partner for premium knitwear design and advanced manufacturing, working toward a regenerative circular economy.

We work with designers and labels to develop and manufacture premium knitwear products, building systems where waste is eliminated, resources are circulated, and nature is regenerated.

Beautiful and useful knitwear that will stand the test of time and be loved - by you, your customer, and the next owner.
Seeking alignment with nature: ethically grown fibre, regenerative agriculture, minimal waste and energy use, working within nature’s circular systems
Made by people, with people and for people - community
We think about the world we would want to inhabit in a 100 years and then try to make decisions that move us towards that.
