HISHANDER

HANDER ARCHIVE (H.A.) is an archive-oriented line through which HISHANDER expresses interest in materials and past references, separately from its regular product offerings. According to a major retailer’s description, SASHIKO STITCH DOBBY CLOTH 5P DENIM PANTS is positioned as the line’s first release, and WASHED SASHIKO DENIM PANTS as its second. While the regular line offers a broad range of items such as outerwear, shirts, and pants, H.A. focuses on denim that emphasizes Japanese-made fabrics, sashiko, and the effects of aging, clearly conveying HISHANDER’s material-oriented approach and archival character.

REMAKE is a derivative line that reinterprets and develops existing HISHANDER models. A major stockist’s description identifies a product reconfigured as WASHED DOUBLE KNEE PANTS by adding treatments such as washing to DOUBLE KNEE PANTS, released in Spring/Summer 2024, as part of HISHANDER’s “REMAKE” line. Unlike new releases in the regular line, it updates specifications and treatments using the designs of past products as a starting point. While HANDER ARCHIVE (H.A.) focuses on materials and changes over time, REMAKE presents the brand’s accumulated body of work through the redesign of existing pieces.
