BRAND ETHOS: HANWI EMBODIES THE TIMELESS ELEGANCE OF THE BELLE ÉPOQUE ERA WHILE EMBRACING SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH INNOVATIVE DESIGN. OUR FALL/WINTER 2024 COLLECTION MARRIES THE ROMANTICISM OF ART NOUVEAU WITH REPURPOSED MILITARY MATERIALS, CREATING A STRIKING CONTRAST THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT OUR COMMITMENT TO BOTH STYLE AND CONSCIENTIOUSNESS. OUR ETHOS REVOLVES AROUND REIMAGINING FASHION THROUGH A LENS OF SUSTAINABILITY AND ARTISTIC INNOVATION. WE ARE PIONEERS IN TRANSFORMING OLD MILITARY SLEEPING BAGS AND OTHER SURPLUS MATERIALS INTO LUXURIOUS, ONE-OF-A-KIND GARMENTS THAT TRANSCEND TRENDS AND PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY. IN OUR COLLECTION, YOU’LL DISCOVER THE UNEXPECTED BEAUTY OF BELLE ÉPOQUE-INSPIRED SILHOUETTES CRAFTED FROM REPURPOSED MILITARY FABRICS. SOFT, FLOWING LINES AND INTRICATE EMBELLISHMENTS SEAMLESSLY MERGE WITH DURABLE, UTILITARIAN TEXTURES, SHOWCASING A HARMONIOUS BLEND OF PAST AND PRESENT, ELEGANCE AND FUNCTIONALITY. AT HANWI, SUSTAINABILITY IS NOT JUST A TREND; IT’S A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF OUR IDENTITY. BY BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO DISCARDED MILITARY MATERIALS, WE HONOR THEIR HISTORY WHILE ADVOCATING FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE IN FASHION. THE JUXTAPOSITION OF DELICATE BELLE ÉPOQUE AESTHETICS WITH RUGGED MILITARY ELEMENTS UNDERSCORES OUR BRAND’S COMMITMENT TO STORYTELLING THROUGH DESIGN. EACH GARMENT TELLS A NARRATIVE OF TRANSFORMATION AND RESILIENCE, EMBODYING THE ETHOS OF REPURPOSING TO REDEFINE BEAUTY. JOIN US IN CELEBRATING THE BEAUTY OF SUSTAINABILITY AND THE ENDURING ALLURE OF ARTISTIC EXPRESSION. HANWI INVITES YOU TO EMBRACE FASHION WITH A PURPOSE—A PURPOSE THAT TRANSCENDS SEASONS AND LEAVES A LASTING IMPACT ON BOTH STYLE AND THE PLANET.
