Designed with Intention. Made by Hand.
Handmade in the USA
Every General Knot piece is designed and sewn in our Bedford, NY studio. No overseas factories, no shortcuts — just careful, skilled work that shows in every stitch and seam.
Truly Limited Edition
We source rare, vintage, and deadstock fabrics from around the world — many of which can never be replicated. When a print is gone, it's gone. That's the point.
Sustainably Minded
By giving new life to heritage fabrics that would otherwise be lost, we create accessories that are kind to the planet and carry a richer story than anything made from scratch.
More Than a Brand
General Knot & Co. was founded in 2010 by Ann and Andrew Payne — two design directors with careers at Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and The Original Penguin — who wanted to make something more personal.
Each collection is an exercise in restraint, craft, and curiosity: rare fabrics sourced from around the world, thoughtful design, and work we're proud to put our names on. We make things slowly, in limited quantities, and with a lot of care.
