Tucked away in the heart on the Sneinton Market, two Nottingham students have opened up about their journey on creating knitwear for high end brands including Calvin Klein and Saint Laurent. Maisie Williamson and Inny Kim graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 2016 and set up A3knit shortly before the pandemic hit.
Most of their clients are brands from New York, including the designers Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors. Mrs Williamson, originally from Cheshire, said that some of their items are being sold for £2,000 by well-established brands worldwide.
The 29-year-old added: "We love the community and art scene in Nottingham, so we looked for a place here to start our business. It just happened that it was set up just before the pandemic hit - it was a challenge definitely.
