General Knot & Co.

Founded in 2010 by Ann and Andrew Payne, General Knot is the culmination of a shared passion for design and a love for unique textiles. Their journey began in art school, where they met and discovered their mutual dream of creating something truly special. With years of experience as design directors for fashion icons like Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and The Original Penguin, they decided to forge our own path and bring their vision to life.

The mission at General Knot & Co. is to create handcrafted accessories here in the U.S. that are as individual as you are. They believe in the power of storytelling through design, and every piece we make carries a history, a purpose, and a touch of nostalgia. Each collection is a limited edition, meticulously crafted to ensure that when you choose General Knot, you’re choosing something truly special.
