atelierDNHN

Atelier DNHN is first and foremost a tribute to local craftsmanship. Since September 2019, every piece has been imagined, designed and crafted in Montréal using second-hand clothing, fabric scraps and end-of-roll fabrics. These reclaimed materials are transformed into garments, caps, hats and a variety of accessories, each one unique and genderless, drawing inspiration from workwear uniforms, sportswear and military aesthetics. Our production is rooted in ethical and environmentally conscious practices, with every creation carefully made in our Montréal workshop.

More than simply recycling textiles, our craftsmanship reinterprets an industrial past, blending it with timeless influences and traditional hands-on techniques.

The DNA of our workshop draws inspiration from the denier, a unit of measurement used in textiles, symbolizing unity and the thread that connects every creation. Each piece follows this guiding thread: giving existing garments a new purpose by transforming them creatively, breathing new life into them and leaving our own distinctive mark.

The acronym DNHN embodies the values at the heart of our workshop: Diversity, Nuance, Human, Native.
