We’ve been busy developing new garments for the SS27 Paris showroom in June. Much of the inspiration came from watching people enjoy daily rituals with family—choosing clothes for comfort, ease, and quiet practicality. To reflect that feeling, we selected fabrics that take time to weave or dye, giving each piece the same unhurried softness that defines gezellig. Stay tuned.
Our label is made on a traditional shuttle loom, a machine that carries a single thread back and forth through the fabric at a slower pace. The slight interruption in the stitching comes naturally from the process, almost like Morse code or the trace of an old printer.
It is a small detail, but something I wanted to use simply because I love the way they are made and the character they carry.
Shuttle looms have mostly disappeared in favour of faster production. They are roughly 4 times slower to make with than modern industrial looms.
That slower process is exactly what gives them their character. It leaves room for attention, imperfection, and care. A reminder that some things do not need to be rushed.
de dam foundation shirts are all made with a non‑fusible sew‑in interlining, giving them a natural feel and allowing them to handle repeated machine washes. The seams use 21 stitches per inch for a cleaner look and stronger durability.
Because it is a one‑size design, the pattern was shaped to work across many body types. A larger back yoke adds a softer drape on the shoulders, and triple‑pleated cuffs make the sleeves adjustable.
The 10mm mother‑of‑pearl buttons were chosen with intention. Their smaller size creates a more refined and balanced look, and using real mother‑of‑pearl adds a quiet sense of value. The idea was to include a detail that feels precious in a subtle, thoughtful way rather than something overly decorative.
Every detail was considered to create a shirt that lasts and works across many occasions, reflecting the effective simplicity at the core of Dutch everyday culture where versatility and practicality guide everything.

This collection reinterprets the practical fishing and farming attire of 19th century Netherlands, seamlessly blending tradition with modernity. Designed for both labor and leisure, these garments reflect a natural harmony between work and daily life, combining enduring functionality with refined craftsmanship.
To bring this vision to life, we explored coastal and rural villages steeped in history. These landscapes, shaped by centuries of labor and tradition, provide an authentic backdrop that highlights the collection’s craftsmanship and purpose. The infrastructure and surroundings mirror the original settings where such garments were once worn, forging a meaningful connection between past and present.
Fabric selection was key to preserving heritage. Natural fibers, once the standard in 19th century Dutch workwear, were chosen for their durability, comfort and historical integrity. This careful selection honors Dutch craftsmanship while enhancing wearability, allowing each piece to effortlessly embody the silhouettes of the past.

This collection draws from the practical mindset of Dutch artists and architects of the early‑1900s. Their workwear, shaped by daily use rather than style, informs silhouettes that are generous, fabrics that are natural and durable, and details reduced to what is essential. The palette reflects the grounded tones they lived in: navy, gray and black.
Rather than recreating the past, the collection carries forward the qualities that made their clothing enduring—ease of movement, clarity of form and readiness for work.
Guided by a belief in longevity, we create genderless garments built to last, to age with dignity and to be passed on with the same continuity as craft and knowledge.

We will be in Paris this January to present our FW26 collection, continuing our exploration of Dutch heritage through contemporary and functional design.
This season looks to the early 1900s, when Dutch designers and architects approached both their work and their clothing with clarity, practicality and purpose. Their informal uniforms of generous silhouettes, durable fabrics and essential details form the foundation of this collection. We re-interpret these ideas for today with natural materials, ease of movement and a focus on longevity.
The invitation follows the format of a document from Gerrit Rietveld’s architectural office. He was one of the architects we researched a lot on. His use of straightforwad materials, simple constructions and modularity reflects the same principles that guide this season’s work, making the format a fitting introduction to the collection.
Our showroom in Paris will be open by appointment only. To schedule a visit, please contact [email protected]. Thank you.
