Founder: Tove Ohlander

'“I grew up in Småland, the “Glass Kingdom” of Sweden, and my influences come from a long-standing tradition of Scandinavian design, glass-making, music and nature. With a deep appreciation for the origin of raw materials and the craftsman/woman/ship that bring a product to life, I turned my design focus to clothing in 2017.

With a Nordic fashion sense based on clothes by Polarn & Pyret, Katja of Sweden, and basic workwear, I drew the original Maker Skirt: a classic-cut wrap skirt, overlapping in the back to provide just the right amount (lagom) of pockets.

I built connections with an innovative apparel production team and social enterprise in Bangalore, India, and their GOTS, Fairtrade, Oeko-Tex, and BSCI certified production eco-system manufactures all of our designs.

As I started in 2017 I had some questions: where had all the good-size pockets gone in women's clothing? Where did the A-line skirt go? And, where did the good quality fabrics go? I developed and built tove wear to be part of the answer to these questions and a solution to gaps in choices for women makers. Today, I create designs for folks who appreciate all of the above in partnership with an outstanding production team that checks all of the boxes for responsible production.“
