"Harkened has been a perfect partner..."
“…both delivering beautifully made garments on time as well as in developing my business. They offer suggestions for development but also the flexibility I need to properly plan my business. I have been working with them for over 5 years now and they have met or even improved upon my production calendar every delivery. I truly see them as a partner in my business. Craft-wise, they have more technical capabilities than any of my other manufacturers and the styles I have placed with them are typically my highest performers. I highly recommend working with Harkened.”
