Alabama Chanin

Organically and ethically produced, thoughtfully designed, women's fashion, home, and tabletop. Alabama Chanin retains the same intention and integrity today.

Alabama Chanin is a lifestyle company producing well-designed and thoughtfully-made goods for the person and the home in our community in Florence, Alabama. We use 100% organic cotton jersey fabric in our designs, sourced sustainably from seed to fabric—along with repurposed and reclaimed materials. The company that has become what Alabama Chanin is today began early in 2000 with the creation of h

and-sewn garments made from cotton jersey fabric by Natalie Chanin. Heirloom pieces are made from 100% organic cotton, sewn by hand through a group of talented artisans who each run their own business, in their own time, and in their own way. The company maintains sustainable practices—across its disciplines—and creates sustainable products, holding ourselves to the highest standards for quality. We are makers and educators, working to elevate and
merge design, craft, and fashion. Made in the USA, Alabama Chanin is a leader in slow design and elevated craft due to a strong belief in tradition, dedication to locally-sewn garments and goods—both hand- and machine-sewn—alongside strict principles of sustainability and lean method production. At Alabama Chanin, we preserve traditions of community, design, producing, and living arts by examining work and life through the acts of storytelling, photography, education, and making.

September is here.

With fall on the horizon, we're layering two of our best-loved pieces from Collection #72: the Halcyon Dress and Rosch Jacket.

The dress is a flowing silhouette crafted from featherweight jersey, with hand-stitched shirring that shapes the bodice. Available in our hand-painted Fields design in two colorways, the dress pairs beautifully with the jacket’s elegant design.

Lightweight and effortless, the Ammil Tunic is crafted from 100% organic cotton jersey and sewn entirely by hand. Chevron seams, cap sleeves, and a curved hem bring structure to the relaxed silhouette, while side slits allow for easy pocket access.

The hand-painted Perianth design complements the lines of the tunic, whose keyhole neckline is finished with a Chinese knot button. Cinch the included belt at the front or back to change up the shape.

Distinctive details, for the elevated everyday.

Here in Alabama, the days remain warm, but our thoughts are turning toward autumn.

With its oversized silhouette and substantial cotton construction, the Godwin Coat offers breathable warmth and comfort, finished with a design that is entirely its own. Metallic gold paint lends a subtle shimmer to the surface, layered over hand-embroidered appliqué.

Each Alabama Chanin garment is made to order by artisans in and around The Shoals. Depending on the intricacy of the design, hand-sewn garments may take up to four weeks to complete. Ordering now ensures your coat arrives just as the cooler weather does.

Every Alabama Chanin garment is carefully cut by hand in our studio in Florence, Alabama. While this process leaves behind remnants of organic cotton fabric, nothing goes to waste.

As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship, we give these fabric scraps to our artisans, who transform them into one-of-a-kind garments. Guided by their own creative decisions, each artisan constructs a unique piece. No two are alike.

Why hand-sewing?

In an industry driven by speed and mass production, hand-sewing offers a different path forward, one of craftsmanship, mindfulness, and human connection. Every stitch is placed by hand, allowing for greater control, closer attention to detail, and a level of care that cannot be replicated by a machine. The result is a garment made to last, with quality and durability woven into every seam.

Hand-sewing is also an act of preservation. By teaching and passing down these techniques, we help keep generations of knowledge alive while supporting artisan craft in America.

As part of a slow fashion approach, our garments are sewn on demand, minimizing waste and avoiding the excesses of large-scale production. Each piece reflects the hands that made it and the belief that clothing can be both beautiful and responsible.

The Alabama Chanin Collection is a material representation of these core values.

Tunica Operis: Now Available in White at Alabama Chanin

The Tunica Operis (latin for “work shirt”) is an expression of thoughtful tailoring, designed in collaboration with master shirtmakers E.M. Reitz.

Made in New York from 100% Italian cotton poplin, the piece reflects a commitment to craftsmanship, comfort, and integrity that's shared by both studios.

Designed to be worn untucked, the tunic features a rounded front hem that's slightly shorter than the back. High side slits provide ease of movement and convenient access to pockets. The front bib is masterfully constructed with tuxedo tucks and three trocas shell buttons. At the back, a vertical loop offers a place to hang the garment or secure a scarf, while soft shirring creates romantic volume.

Previously stocked only at E.M. Reitz, the White colorway is now available directly from Alabama Chanin. Find it here in limited quantities: https://alabamachanin.com/products/tunica-operis-shirt-white
