ONE GARMENT AT A TIME

HEKNE is built on the idea of ​​creating one large collection consisting of nice individual garments - all favorites. We don't need so many new garments all the time, if we love the ones we have. We want to create favorite garments that are

elegant, yet playful

timeless, without being colorless

in good materials and well made

And to do it well, we have to do it slowly. Slowly enough that we can take care of nature, the animals and the people who have been involved in making each garment. So that you can feel beautiful, with a clear conscience.

 

SLOWLY IN AND SLOWLY OUT

We don't design collections, but individual garments.

Each garment comes into our collection with the option to preorder. When you preorder a garment, you actively contribute to reducing overproduction because it makes it easier for us to calculate the size of the production. Perhaps having to wait a little longer for a garment can also help change the quick buy-and-throw relationship we have with clothes today?

And the garment doesn't disappear until it's sold. Our garments are made to last, beyond trends and beyond seasons. For us, the garments and all the work behind them have just as much value one season as the next.

 

GOOD CRAFTSMANSHIP

We have chosen to move all our production to Italy - a conscious choice to help safeguard a traditional and important European industry. Each garment is created by skilled craftsmen with generations of knowledge and high competence in the textile industry.

We have great respect for these people and their skills. For us, it's not just about producing clothes, but about preserving and honoring a cultural heritage of craftsmanship and professionalism.

LIFETIME WARRANTY

We don't necessarily choose the yarn that is spun the hardest and lasts the longest. We like the softness and value other qualities of those that are spun more loosely. We also don't choose materials that are mixed with plastic for more strength and longer durability.

We always choose natural materials .

Garments made from natural materials don't last forever, but they still come with a long lifetime warranty from nature. Pure natural materials, combined with good craftsmanship, can be repaired and repaired again. And when they can't be repaired anymore, they can be used in another form.

Once the garment is in your hands, our responsibility continues to help you take good care of it. That's why we provide you with guidance on maintenance, repair and upcycling. We also offer free repairs. You can find this under Reuse , which for us is all about making a garment usable again - over and over again.
