about
Hul le Kes is a high-end fashion label based in Arnhem, the Netherlands, bringing together design, craftsmanship and social engagement in distinctive collections with a unique signature and story.
Led by designers Sjaak Hullekes and Sebastiaan Kramer, Hul le Kes creates timeless designer pieces in which character, imperfection and authenticity take centre stage. The collections exist at the intersection of art, fashion and craftsmanship.
Every garment is made in-house within our ateliers in Arnhem, the Netherlands. Through refined finishing, handcraft and the use of existing materials, each piece gains a unique appearance, exceptional quality and layered character.
As a social enterprise, Hul le Kes sees fashion as a way to reconnect people, materials and society. Our social mission is therefore woven into every aspect of the brand.
Within the Hul le Kes Recovery Studio and Recovery Garden, participants work towards recovery, personal development and new perspectives through craft, textiles and nature. This creates an ecosystem where care, creativity and craftsmanship come together.
