Sustainable Home Goods from the Deep South

February 2, 2015

All struggling hometowns need a Natalie Chanin. For more than a decade, we’ve watched with interest as the former NYC-based stylist returned to her roots, founding her own organic cotton fashion company, Alabama Chanin, in Florence, Alabama. She also publishes sewing books, runs a cafe and community center, leads DIY workshops, hosts conferences, and, more recently, has re-established machine textile manufacturing in Florence by taking over a defunct factory. We especially like her new tabletop accessories.
