Community Clothing

About

Community Clothing is a British clothing brand founded in 2016 by fashion designer Patrick Grant. Based in Blackburn, Lancashire, the company focuses on producing high-quality, sustainable, and ethical clothing while supporting British manufacturing and reducing clothing waste. The brand emerged from Grant's efforts to save a historic Lancashire manufacturer, Cookson & Clegg, from closure, which sparked a movement to revitalize the British textile industry. As a social enterprise, Community Clothing provides consistent employment opportunities for UK factories and mills, helping them remain operational year-round. The company offers a range of everyday clothing items, including jeans and outerwear, made from high-quality natural materials. By utilizing "deadstock" materials and minimizing design changes, Community Clothing aims to reduce waste and the environmental impact of fast fashion. The brand sells its products directly to consumers online and through occasional pop-up shops, promoting a sustainable fashion model that values long-term wear.
