Fashion Enter and Maeknit Inc launch swatch service and sampling in London
11/03/2025
UKFT member Fashion Enter has joined forces with US based MAEKNIT INC. to open a new HQ for rapid swatch, sampling and development services at its Haringey, north London base.
The two organisations share a vision of ‘Fast Slow Fashion’, combining 3D virtual sampling and expert guidance. Maeknit’s system allows small brands to compete with large retailers without the typical barriers – no minimum order quantities, no long lead times and no bad suppliers. Established brands can also streamline their processes by purchasing only what they need, with quick replenishment in 2-3 weeks.
The Maeknit system can work with the brand’s existing factories through its extensive network of over 800 global units.
The new centre will be providing unique educational services and will be part of Fashion Enter’s Factory Uncovered tours.
