Designed with Intention. Made by Hand.
Made by Hand. Made in America.
Designed in our Bedford, NY studio and made by hand — most pieces in our own workshop, the rest by a small network of skilled American makers and partner factories we've come to trust. Careful, considered work that shows in every stitch and seam.
Truly Limited Edition
We work with rare vintage textiles, carefully preserved over decades, and with small-batch fabric from specialty mills around the world. Many can never be replicated. When a print is gone, it's gone. That's the point.
Made in Small Batches
Small batches using rare specialty textiles — less waste by design, and a richer story in every piece.
More Than a Brand
Founded in 2010 by Ann and Andrew Payne, General Knot is a family-owned operation working out of our studio in Bedford, New York, with a small network of trusted American makers behind it.
