Hey swanky friends!

Our founder Peter Truitt is the main man behind SwankHanks. Peter founded SwankHanks LLC while attending Robinson College of Business at GSU in 2013. Always a creative individual, with a background in film/photography and editing, when he stumbled into the EDC community, he realized there was a surprising lack of style and variation in the handcrafted hank category. Starting out with a cheap 30 year old barely functional sewing machine, he took lessons from a local quilt maker for over two years, and mentored under a master embroiderer Joon Lee. What started as a side hustle, quickly turned into a passion project and full-time job. Prioritizing quality and originality, Peter set his brand apart from the other makers by working with super high end, and difficult to work with designs and materials. He brought his inner circle into the game as well. His girlfriend Kate Hall leads outside sales and customer relations, and his longtime friend Hunter Irvin manages the books, web store, and marketing. Leaving Peter to focus on creative direction and production. To this day, we strive to continue innovating, and provide the community with handcrafted pieces that they're proud to carry alongside other pieces of pocket art. Stay swank friends. We wouldn't exist without your support, and it means the world to us.
