About Aletheia Design & Sewing Service
Aletheia Design & Sewing Service operates from a compact facility in the Northeast Minneapolis arts district NE. Founded in 2014, the company is owned and operated by Abby Hansen, a garment technician with over 12 years of industrial apparel experience. Hansen’s background includes soft‑goods production management, contract sewing, and costume work for Sesame Street Live, the Minnesota Opera, and the Guthrie Theater. She holds a BA in Apparel Design from St. Catherine University, a certificate in Apparel Technologies from Minneapolis Community and Technical College, and is an alumna of the Sewing Factory School’s Apparel Manufacturing Boot Camp. The name “aletheia” (Greek for “disclosure” or “unconcealedness”) reflects a commitment to transparency in fashion manufacturing. The shop provides a la carte product‑development and cut‑and‑sew services for emerging brands. Core processes include pattern making, fit audits, sample making, grading coordination, marker making, and small‑batch production runs of 20 to 200 units per style per colorway. Equipment comprises Union Special, Rimoldi, Juki, and Singer industrial sewing machines plus dedicated cutting space. The low‑overhead, human‑scale workspace is designed to keep costs manageable for small‑order clients. Aletheia serves young, local, and small apparel brands that need technical guidance and flexible manufacturing to launch their lines. Customers range from independent designers with a single sketch to brands ready for presales and initial production runs. The collaborative development model lets clients engage only the steps they need, from initial consulting through to finished goods. Hansen started the business to offer an affordable, low‑minimum alternative to traditional factories, emphasizing honesty in pricing and process. By keeping scope focused and referring out work outside her core capabilities, she aims to deliver quality garments within a startup’s budget.
