A soft buzz in the air… Is it just a bumblebee, or the Hommelstraat calling? In Dutch, hommel means bumblebee. And just like the gentle hum of that determined little creature, there’s movement here at Hommelstraat 27 in Arnhem. Today is the final day of our Stock Sale at the Hul le Kes Store: your last chance to discover unique pieces before they find a new home. From Wednesday on, we return to our regular opening days: every week from Wednesday to Saturday. A place for fashion that’s slower, circular, and full of character. See you soon? #hullekesstore #hommelstraat #stockdagen #arnhem #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #circularfashion #upcycledfashion

The doors are officially open: Arnhemse Stock en Design Dagen have begun. How stocksale can become reflection: Technically, we started yesterday, but today marks the official first day of this beloved Arnhem tradition. Born in 2011 from the vision of our managing director Sebastiaan Kramer (sebaskram ) the arnhemsestockendesigndagen were created to bring Arnhem’s designer fashion to a broader audience. A simple idea: open up the closets, offer access, share value. And what a journey it’s been. From a handful of designer stores to a city-wide event, too large to organise alone, yet still deeply rooted in its original spirit. Hul le Kes remains a proud participant, just as we were back then. For many, this event marks their very first encounter with designer clothing. For us, it’s a way to show how garments, when made with care and intention, can open minds. Through our stock sale, we’re not just making space. We’re making space for reflection; on what clothing can mean, on what it’s worth, and on how fashion can move forward. We’re here today through Sunday 29 June. Join us. And visit the junimodemaand and fdfarnhem #arnhem #stockdagen #designsale #sustainablefashion #circularfashion #hullekes #fashionwithpurpose #arnhemmode #slowfashion Picture by scottvkw model allesvanhaar

Private orders | Some garments are not made from fabric alone. They’re stitched together from memory, meaning, and love. For a recent private order, we created a Hul le Kes Patchwork Rodin from an assembly of pinks: the fabric of a childhood cot, a shirt from a dear one, buttons from her mother’s blouse. Worn now by her, it carries more than colour; it carries connection. We regularly create custom pieces from your own textiles. Old blankets, inherited shirts, baby bedding... they return transformed, as Monet or Cremer Jackets, ready for a new chapter. True sustainability begins with what you already hold dear. Have a textile you’d like to wear again? We’re happy to think along. Email us, or visit our store in Arnhem to explore the possibilities. #privateorder #fashion #slowfashion #shirt #upcycle #circularfashion #arnhem

Circularity… Not as a flawless loop, but as a layered story. That’s how we see it at Hul le Kes. Our garments carry their pasts with pride: a Rodin Patchwork Shirt whispering of former lives, a Monet Jacket shaped by years of warmth. In our hullekesrecovery Studio, both cloth and people are given space to mend and evolve. One careful stitch at a time. Here, imperfections are marks of beauty. A wine stain becomes a memory. A patch becomes part of a garment’s soul. This is fashion that grows with you, not against you. Discover the full story of how we design circularity on our website — link in bio.

A perfect moment to experience the heart of Hul le Kes. And just one week later, from June 27 to 29, it’s time for the arnhemsestockendesigndagen Together with many fellow designers and shops, we’ll open our studios and our new hullekesstorearnhem at Hommelstraat 27 for a special edition of this beloved event.

Each of our garments tell a story, not just of fabric or design, but of people, process, and purpose. Our Rodin Shirts reflect this layered approach. The classic versions, crafted from surplus fabrics and upcycled bedding, are cut and sewn with care in our hullekesmanufacturing Studio. The Rodin Patchwork Shirts go a step further: made entirely from post-consumer cotton shirts sourced through partners such as 2switch and reshare_store . These materials, once discarded, are disassembled and transformed in a close collaboration between our Manufacturing Studio and hullekesrecovery Studio. In the Recovery Studio, individuals supported by partners like driestroom_alledaagsgeluk and Activerend Werk find purpose and structure through textile work, rebuilding confidence, skills, and community as they give new life to textiles. Every Rodin Shirt carries this human touch. Fashion that speaks not only of design, but of care, inclusion, and renewal. Now available in our Arnhem store and online. #shirt #patchwork #upcycledfashion #circularfashion #socialenterprise #craftedwithcare #sustainablefashion #arnhem #mentalhealth

Those who have followed us for a while might know about Sjaak’s peculiar fascination with... paperclips. For over 25 years, he has been collecting each stray paperclip he finds, whether in Arnhem, Paris, Berlin or New York. What draws him in? The unique shapes, the traces of erosion, the patina that tells of a past life left behind on the street. A small, humble object, deemed worthless by most, becomes, through his eyes, a treasure. It is this same perspective that underpins everything we do at Hul le Kes: seeing beauty in the used, the worn, the discarded. Shaping stories through textiles with history. As we are developing our new collection for Spring/Summer 2026, we’re taking this philosophy one step further. The work becomes more personal, more refined, and more rooted in upcycling. We won’t reveal too much just yet, but here’s a little hint: sjaakhullekes ’s love for found paperclips has found its way into our new way of working. Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing more. Curious? Make sure you’re subscribed to our newsletter. Picture by scottvkw #paperclip #circulaireconomy #circulairdesign #sustainablefashion #springsummer2026 #ss36 #parisfashionweek #design
