At Hank, we believe the most beautiful garments are the ones that respect both people and the planet. That’s why every piece begins in Peru, where we work closely with native fibers, local communities, and time-honored traditions to create clothing with meaning.
We source only the finest natural materials Peru has to offer. Peruvian alpaca, prized for its warmth, lightness, and durability, is collected sustainably from animals cared for in high-altitude regions. Pima cotton, known as the “cashmere of cotton,” brings unmatched softness and breathability, while Tanguis cotton offers exceptional strength and longevity — designed to be worn and loved for years to come. These fibers are spun by local mill houses in Peru, keeping the entire process rooted in community.
The heart of Hank lies in the makers. Our knitwear is handcrafted by Peruvian women who work from their own homes, often alongside their families. This approach allows them to sustain a stable income without leaving behind the rhythm of their daily lives — raising children, caring for loved ones, and passing down traditional craft skills. It’s a model that supports independence, empowerment, and cultural preservation, all while reducing the footprint of unnecessary factories or mass production.
Every step of our supply chain is kept close to the source, which means fewer miles traveled, fewer hands involved, and far less impact on the environment. By embracing slow, considered fashion, we celebrate quality over quantity and story over trend. Each Hank garment represents a small but powerful cycle — natural fibers, local hands, lasting impact.
When you choose Hank, you’re not just wearing something beautiful. You’re supporting communities, protecting traditions, and making a choice for a more sustainable future.

Today, my dear friends in Peru carefully handcraft each Hank piece, pouring their skill, passion, and heart into every stitch, continuing the story of slow, sustainable, and heirloom-quality fashion that began with my love of the craft.
Every Hank piece is designed with care, crafted with sustainable materials, and hand-knit by skilled Peruvian artisans. We focus on heirloom-quality knits that are built to last, supporting ethical practices and empowering women in artisan communities.
Our knitwear is created using a combination of hand knitting and traditional flatbed knitting techniques. Today, our talented friends in Peru carefully handcraft each piece, ensuring every stitch reflects craftsmanship, quality, and care.
We select only sustainable, premium fibres, chosen for their durability, comfort, and low environmental impact. Each material is thoughtfully sourced to create knits that feel luxurious, last for years, and are gentle on the planet.
To preserve the beauty and longevity of your knitwear, we recommend gentle hand washing or using a delicate cycle with cold water, then laying flat to dry. Proper care ensures your heirloom piece can be treasured for generations.
When you shop with Hank, you’re supporting more than beautiful knitwear, you’re empowering female artisans in Peru, preserving traditional craftsmanship, and embracing slow, sustainable fashion that respects people and the planet.
