Production

Harkened is a full service clothing production manufacturer located in Lima, Peru. We had the pleasure of meeting the amazing Harkened team in March of 2022 and just fell in love! Founded by the dynamic female duo of Kelly and Ellen, Harkened, feels like a family and it shows in their values. First and foremost, they care about their artisans. They do this by working with Fair Trade Principles such as:

Eco + Ethical Principles

Ensuring good working conditions.

Ensuring there is no forced labour, child labour, harassment or discrimination.

Providing transparency and being accountable to our knitting partners.

Closing The Loop

Harkened is a big believer in closing the loop of their production process - which we love! They went as far as creating an entirely new company called The Endery to make use of yarn waste. In 2021, Harkended collected over 600kg of yarn waste that would have ended up in the landfill and sent it to The Endery for upcycling.
