Another brand, The Enry, makes heirloom-quality knits in Peru using deadstock yarn, a waste byproduct in the fashion industry."When I'm looking to spend money, I prefer to spend on quality over quantity or brands that have some purpose-driven mission," explained Stachowski.The founder began garment sewing four years ago, gaining a new appreciation for how clothes fit and what they are made of.
