About Spooltown

Spooltown is a queer women-owned and operated sewing factory in Portland, Oregon, specializing in soft goods production (think: bags, pillows, linens, aprons, etc). We excel at working with unforgiving fabrics like leather, faux leather and waxed canvas. Needle holes are forever, so you've got to get it right the first time. We run production for many established brands, emphasizing rigorous quality standards, communication, and lasting relationships. We offer design consulting and product development as needed to make manufacturing more affordable in the long run. We believe in visible, ethical American manufacturing. We believe that people should see the process of making because it's hard. And amazing. And worthwhile. We believe that social change starts with the small decisions, and we're committed to helping build infrastructure for the new economy of makers.Read their story
