Last but certainly not least for our Who Made My Clothes series: Jane
Jane has been with Mandatory since the brands inception twenty years ago. She’s one of two of our amazing machinists and puts together stock garments and custom made orders from her home studio in Berhampore. Jane also spends time cutting in the workroom on a Monday to mix with the crew. As our principal sample sewer Jane is integral in development of every design produced by Mandatory. Jane appreciates the high quality thread and materials we use.

This week we have been welcoming transparency and profiled the small team behind Mandatory with the aim to answer the campaign question:#whomademyclothes

She keeps regular weekly shifts on the shop floor and works hard to be the great boss she is constantly praised as being.
