Madder Root was born out of a passion for fabric, art, lively conversation, cups of tea and walks with the dog. We see creating and doing business in Maine as more than just a job. At Madder Root it's a lifestyle. We are inspired by our state's ocean, forest and mountain vistas and we strive to protect the environment around us with every business choice we make. From our material to our packaging we work hard to find environmentally friendly supplies without sacrificing quality.

We're honored to be one of Etsy's featured sellers. Thanks so much for your support. Here's a link to the interview: http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2012/featured-seller-madder-root/

We all wear a lot of different hats here at madder root (figuratively speaking), but most likely your items were laundered and printed by Christina, sewn by Jan, and packaged by us both. Andy can usually be found running the behind the scenes stuff and keeping Christina and Jan out of trouble. We all contribute to product development and designing.

Our shop is smoke free and pet friendly.
