STITCH: Maine Designers on the Runway

Save the Date: May 22, 2025

Craft is the fabric of Maine: Woven into our economy, culture, and communities. At STITCH, Maine’s talented designers and makers take center stage with their handcrafted wearables. Thoughtfully designed and skillfully made, these pieces are more than garments – they are statements of sustainability, creativity, and pride in local craftsmanship.

When you support local, you support the future. Every purchase, every investment in Maine’s designers ensures the longevity of our creative economy, keeping craft traditions alive for generations to come.

Craft is culture. Handmade goods tell stories, honor heritage, and drive economic sustainability. Join us at STITCH and experience the next wave of Maine fashion – where innovation meets tradition, and every piece has a story to tell.

Cool clothes. From here.
