Established in 2012, Hedley & Bennett was born to inspire a sense of dignity and pride in the kitchen. Founder and designer Ellen Bennett recognized a recurring pattern in drab kitchen workwear: bland, generic and essentially disposable uniforms that were completely uninspiring.

Hedley & Bennett is now the leading designer of aprons and chefware, constructing garments specifically for the makers of the world.
