Making things in the Uk can be tough.
Customers face a small, fragmented factory base and time-consuming consummations and frustrating processes. Factories struggle with unrealistic deadlines, unclear expectations, misaligned product briefs and unachievable price points.
We want to change the model by simplifying collaboration, building stronger connections between brands, makers and fabric producers while aligning expectations on price, time scales and finish. Allowing you to access faster, clearer, and fairer for all.
KC started in 2012 as an artist collective.
Through the years we developed into a gallery, the first artist in resident in a shopping centre, then a ‘micro-manufacturer’, studio space operator, shop owners and finally our own factory. It’s was a long and diverse road to becoming a manufacturer it’s been a fantastic adventure the whole way!
