Hul le Kes was established by Sjaak Hullekes and Sebastiaan Kramer and is based in Arnhem, the Netherlands. Hul le Kes is the answer by fashion designer Sjaak Hullekes to the often so superficial looks of social media and the fashion industry. Hul le Kes’ starting point: it’s not the perfection but the imperfection which makes clothes interesting and characterful.

Hul le Kes create with love and attention; made in a small quantity, using leftover, overstock and antique fabrics, by a small team of craftsmen in the brands Arnhem studio. Every garment in the regular Hul le Kes collection has its own passport with information about the materials, the garment and its makers. By doing so Hul le Kes provides more insight in the way it was made and gives the item a start for its life cycle.

By the time the wearer gets bored of his/her item and wants something new the Hul le Kes garment can be sent back, where it will be renewed in the Arnhem studio using WabiSabi principles, ready for a new life.
