KnotAgain
KnotAgain is owned by two sisters who use the art of macramé to create homeware, bags, and sandals. Hlah and Linnet create each piece themselves, prioritising a no-to-low waste production chain and using natural materials and dyes where possible. KnotAgain is known for its macramé handbags, cushions, and wall hangings made using cotton, jute, and upcycled materials.
