Red t-shirt, size large, sold by Blackburn-based retailer Community Clothing in 2021.
This t-shirt was made by Community Clothing, which was founded by fashion designer Patrick Grant in 2019 and is based in Blackburn, Lancashire. Community Clothing is an online retailer but also sells through occasional pop-up shops. The company's stated mission is to produce quality, affordable everyday clothing in UK-based garment factories.
Community Clothing’s ‘Seasonless Staples’ business model reduces the company's design and marketing costs, as well as production wastage, enabling them to retail their clothing at lower prices than clothing of similar quality manufactured by others.
Many of the partner factories that produce the textiles and garments sold by Community Clothing are long-standing, family-owned businesses with highly skilled employees, rooted within their communities. Because Community Clothing retails seasonless clothing, they can provide work to businesses that would otherwise have to lay-off or reduce hours for staff during low seasons in manufacturing when they have the most spare capacity.
