Our Story

KENWORTHY IS:

A mother-daughter collaboration that spun into being after countless trips throughout Asia, Central America, and the Middle East. Inspired more by the textiles from our travels than by current trends, we look to embody the laid-back island lifestyle that our home practically breathes.

Each piece is hand-sewn at our studio on Martha's Vineyard and purposely designed to outlive fashion cycles, in our attempt to create garments that are both timeless and constantly relevant. We started by traveling to buy fabrics and trims that represented each place we visited, but instead of just finding textiles, we met some amazing women whose craft and creativity we couldn't help but fall in love with and want to share. We now work with embroiderers in Oaxaca and knitters in Peru to bring each idea to life using their age-old trades.

We believe that the rise of "fast fashion" has brought with it some inevitable negatives: massive waste, overproduction, and an overall culture that promotes sameness.

We look to break this pattern.

We want you to stand out.

We want to make every piece count.

We envision people owning less clothing but absolutely loving every piece they have for the unique joy it brings them. Seeing you wear our garments means we are one step closer to that goal.

We hope you love our designs just as much as we love sharing them with you.
