Clothkits was an English clothing company founded as a mail order business by Anne Kennedy in 1969. The company cleverly specialized in selling pre-printed kit clothing for children and adults. The kit would comprise of a pattern printed onto the fabric so that it could be cut out and assembled without needing to pin a paper pattern.
After a period of hibernation, the Clothkits brand was bought in 2007 by artist Kay Mawer and the company relaunched in Early 2008. Clothkits continue to produce kit clothing, also available pre-assembled, inspired by the original concept. Collaborations with contemporary artists and designers form the core of the business.
I love how British institutions and life-impacting brands are still respected and resurrected and so relevant to our times.
