Hul le Kes comes from the family name of our co-founder Sjaak Hullekes. His family name is a rare name, even within the Netherlands, and therefore we thought it was a beautiful name to give to this brand. Yet it is often misspelled. We found out by dividing the name into three parts (Hul, le, Kes) it was much easier for people to pronounce and to remember. That is how Hullekes became Hul le Kes.

Hul le Kes was founded by Sjaak Hullekes and Sebastiaan Kramer. Together with a whole team of enthusiasts they work together to create a new paradigm on fashion. Read more about the people behind Hul le Kes, or about the Circular and Sustainable way of working.
