While Alabama Chanin's physical operations are rooted in Florence, Alabama, its global presence is primarily expressed through international online retail, features in global media, and participation in international craft and sustainability dialogues. Their designs, materials (like organic cotton), and educational resources (DIY kits, books, online workshops) reach a worldwide audience. They do not maintain physical office locations internationally, focusing on their U.S.-based making and community.
