Cotton On

"Cotton is the foundation of the work of Alabama Chanin in Florence, Alabama, both environmentally and also culturally. Founder Natalie Chanin along with her team at The Factory and their network of local artisans, have grown their business thoughtfully and holistically over the years: they follow Slow Design methods, choosing to use only organic cotton fabric in the production of their well-known hand and machine sewn garments and homewares. Recognized as pioneers in their field, they have received accolades from the Council of Fashion Designers of America and many others for the good work they do, both in the world of fashion and in their local community.
