<p>Chances are, you are already smitten with <a href="https://www.mollyhatch.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.mollyhatch.com/">Molly Hatch</a>&#8216;s work, you may just not know it. Over the past decade or so, the charming wares of this prolific potter have graced over 500 home and gift items created exclusively for Anthropologie. As a result, her distinctive brand — defined by the tagline &#8216;modern heirlooms with everyday charm&#8217; —has received star billing on an exquisite retail stage most makers only dream of.</p>

<p>But for Molly, the daughter of a organic dairy farmer and a painter, that big break could not have arrived at a better time, as at that point, her family was struggling to stay financially afloat. Over time, Molly&#8217;s relationship with the major retailer not only helped her own voice evolve, she helped Anthropologie systemize its artist collaborations.</p>

<p><br>Meanwhile, thanks to carefully considered licensing partnerships, the Molly Hatch range has expanded to include everything from paper party goods to planters, kitchen textiles to tea accessories and even a tea-themed gift book. When coronavirus came on the scene and halted international shipping, Molly charmed her audience with free printables to offset her extensive stationery wares.</p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-61884" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-61884 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-3 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix" data-id="61884" data-base="0"><div class="tipi-row-inner-style clearfix"><div class="tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap"><div class="block block-23 clearfix"><article class="tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-3 post-9620 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-celebrations tag-art-prints tag-falloween tag-greeting-cards tag-halloween tag-halloween-cards tag-nancy-michalak tag-paper-cuttings tag-pendants tag-sarah-schwartz tag-silhouettes tag-stationery tag-thank-you-stationery tag-the-paper-chronicles" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/paper-cuttings-from-nancy-michalak/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/nancy_2-copy.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/nancy_2-copy.jpg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/nancy_2-copy.jpg?resize=200%2C200&;ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/nancy_2-copy.jpg?resize=293%2C293&;ssl=1 293w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/nancy_2-copy.jpg?resize=75%2C75&;ssl=1 75w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/nancy_2-copy.jpg?resize=390%2C390&;ssl=1 390w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/nancy_2-copy.jpg?resize=585%2C585&;ssl=1 585w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/nancy_2-copy.jpg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/nancy_2-copy.jpg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/nancy_2-copy.jpg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a></div><div class="meta"><div class="byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-4"><div class="byline-part cats"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/category/celebrations/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Celebrations</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/paper-cuttings-from-nancy-michalak/">Paper Cuttings from Nancy Michalak</a></h3></div><div class="byline byline-3"><span class="byline-part date"><i class="tipi-i-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> <time class="entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date" datetime="2015-09-08T13:05:28+00:00">September 8, 2015</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="9620"><span class="likes-heart"><i class="tipi-i-heart-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><i class="tipi-i-heart" aria-hidden="true"></i></span><span class="tipi-value">0</span></a></span></div></div></div></article></div></div></div></div></div></tipimidc>

<p>But the brand enters an entirely new realm with the release of Molly Hatch for <a href="https://joanieclothing.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://joanieclothing.com/">Joanie</a> clothing. Much of this collection is made from sustainable and organic cotton fabrics, and each piece is as irresistible as the home goods that first put Molly on the map. In this episode, Molly shares each inspiring step of her design journey with candor to help pioneer other makers in her mighty wake.</p>
