The original idea behind Merchant & Mills is a simple one: To elevate sewing to a serious craft, worthy of quality tools and materials. Along the way, we have aimed to provide people with the skills and patterns to make exceptional garments and empower them to step away from fast fashion to make their own choices. Since the company was founded, a community has grown around this idea. Countless makers have found their way to our Tower Street store, part a former toy factory, now a textile and sewing haven. It’s a magical place for first-time visitors, an irresistible source of inspiration, daring even non-sewers to handle a fabric or pick up a tool and quietly consider the possibilities. We are making more makers, in a quiet revolution.
