TTENDEN
A clothing company focusing on lines, color, and movement.

TTENDEN'S main goal is to bring back the uniqueness in design. Designed and constructed in Grand Haven, Michigan, Todd Hancock started this small clothing company about 5 years ago, believing that people will search out the locally made clothing, and steer away from the sweatshops and mass produced "rack clothing." Each item is cut and made by hand, one at a time, and most are one of a kind. TTENDEN designs for men, women, children, and accessories. Most collections consist of casual everyday wear. Jeans, skirts, sweatshirts, dresses, and tops. Favorite materials used by TTENDEN are the natural fibers of linen, cotton, and wool, and also an array of vintage and recycled fabric.
