HUL LE KES

SOCIAL CHANGE THROUGH GARMENTS

Hul le Kes, founded by Sjaak Hullekes and Sebastiaan Kramer, focuses strongly on using upcycled materials and traditional techniques. Over 95% of the materials used are sourced from post-consumer and post-production waste. Their pieces are crafted in Arnhem, the Netherlands, where their studio is based. All the garments of Hul le Kes are made by their wonderful team of trained craftspeople and participants recovering from mental health challenges. By blending skill-building with emotional healing, Hul le Kes demonstrates that fashion can be a powerful tool for social change.
