As we approach the final week of 2025, there’s a quiet excitement in the air at Hul le Kes. This month, our Arnhem store is still open, and in the spirit of reflection, and a little tidying up, you might just receive a special gift with your purchase. It’s our way of thanking you for being part of the journey so far.
Because behind the scenes, we’ve been working on something meaningful.
2026 will be a year in which we return even more deeply to our essence: that of applied artists. We are embracing our roots to create a future that is slower, more exclusive, and more personal. What does that mean for you? Read this news post for more information.
Since May, the Hul le Kes Store has been housed within the home of Sjaak Hullekes, and from January onward we will take that intimacy to the next level. There will be no more fixed opening hours. Instead, we will welcome you by appointment only, creating space, both physical and emotional, for true attention to you and the garments.
As per 2026, we’ll open the doors more widely for a Hul le Kes Salon, inviting you to step inside Sjaak’s full home. The Hul le Kes Salons will be held twice a month. Not just a shop visit, but a chance to experience the spirit and environment in which our work is created.
Intimate, but more expansive in feeling.

2026 will bring a stronger focus on limited series, each garment more considered, more layered with story. Expect smaller collections, more one-of-a-kind pieces, and a pace that respects both people and materials.
This new direction speaks to the collector in you; whether you’re drawn to timeless elegance, unique craftsmanship, or emotional connection. It’s an approach that values depth over speed, experience over trend.
We are also preparing a new rhythm of exclusive events, hosted only for our most loyal customers. Artistic gatherings, previews, and behind-the-scenes experiences; carefully curated to bring you closer to the heart of Hul le Kes.
To ensure you don’t miss out, make sure your purchases are registered in your name, that you’re in our client database, and that you’re subscribed to the Hul le Kes Newsletter. These will be the only ways to receive invitations for what’s to come.
With 2026 on the horizon, we look forward to welcoming you into a slower, more meaningful chapter of Hul le Kes. A place where luxury is not just in quantity, but also in presence.
Sjaak & Sebastiaan
