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.
