For the Makers
Katie Covington co-founded For the Makers, a company dedicated to making makers. By working with companies like Kate Spade, Anthropologie and Marc Jacobs Katie and co-founder Janet Crowther learned the ins and outs of dealing with producers and suppliers. As the constant go-tos for friends looking for the perfect bead, ribbon or fabric and champions of small wholesalers and suppliers, they realized they had to share the love. She’s traveled throughout Asia scouting factories and materials and still loves to nerd out discovering unique supplies. She’s been known to make an epic mess.
