About Us

Megan Crook is a self-taught textile guru. She has been expanding her craft for the best part of 20 years. During this time, Megan has developed a cult following for her unique and eye-catching designs. From hand to machine knits and pattern cutting to tailoring, Megan inherently combines a multitude of techniques and is forever seeking more knowledge and experience. In 2018 Megan Crook Textiles was born, this brand focuses on machine embroidery and embellishment to create unique and individual surface patterns using mixed materials and novelty knitting yarns. The outcome is an inspiring array of colour and texture showcased across a range of accessories, interiors and bespoke garments all created by hand in her new studio in the heart of Nottingham.

A lot goes into making every item. From sourcing, pattern drafting, grading, sampling, cutting, manufacturing, finishing, and photography. All of this is done in our Nottingham studio.

The brand is constantly evolving but at it's core, the ethos will always stay the same:
  • Creating clothes with a feel good factor
  • Inclusivity
  • Sustainability

 

Feel Good Factor

We believe that clothing is an awesome way to express yourself and can be an extension of your personality. If you feel comfortable in what you're wearing it really can put a pep in your step and help you to feel confident. This is at the heart of why we do what we do and we want nothing more than to create garments that lift your spirits and make you feel great!

Inclusivity

Here at Megan Crook Textiles we are people pleasers and want to make something for everyone. We offer a wide range of sizes for our products and we can also make to order in custom sizes to suit every shape. Everybody deserves to wear clothes that make them feel fabulous and put a smile on their face!

We recognise that people are all multi-faceted individuals with varied tastes, so we offer a vast range of styles across both MCT and our sister brand Get Crooked, whilst still making sure to add our own distinctive flair to our products.

Accessibility is also very important to us. We work hard to create a wide selection of items that are available to suit varying budgets, but without compromising on quality.

Sustainability

We know that it's becoming increasingly evident that humans need to be mindful of the footprints that we make on our planet. It is incredibly important to Megan Crook Textiles that we have sustainability at the core of what we do and how we do it. So here's what we do...
  • Our Nottingham studio runs purely on renewable energy.
  • We use biodegradable packaging when sending out orders.
  • Many of our products are made to order meaning we are not making excess stock that can lead to wastage.
  • Production off-cuts are cycled back into production wherever possible and used in other projects such as craft kits and workshops

 

Hopefully that's helped you get to know Megan Crook Textiles a little better.  Be sure to follow us on Instagram for regular update on what we're up to, and drop us a line if you have and questions or thoughts... We love a chat!


Stay bright, stay sassy, stay fabulous!
