“My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece”
–Claude Monet
This garment is named after the world famous, Paris born, impressionist Claude Monet (or Claude Oscar Monet) who lived from 1840 until 1926. He is known for his landscapes and garden views. He was a prolific practitioner of expressing one’s perceptions before nature and loved to paint outdoors. It is his impressionist touch and the garments he wears that are a great inspiration to us. Visiting Monet’s house and garden with his parents is one of Sebastiaan’s best childhood memories.

Maintenance
To care for your natural dyed items from Hul le Kes, it is best to store them in a cool, dark place and avoid washing them. Instead, hang the garment outside on a fresh evening, in the shade, and sheltered from the rain. Natural dyes are unique and will fade over time, adding character to the piece. However, if you wish to refresh its color, the garment can be redyed through the Hul le Kes Dyeing Service, allowing it to evolve and stay vibrant for years to come.
