Next winter’s collection will use an organic cotton velvet imported from Portugal, and certified “Oeko-Tex Standard 100”, meeting EU standards. The hats range will be enriched by chapkas, manufactured in the brand’s own workshop in Kathmandu, dedicated to the production of small series. Quite complex to manufacture, these chapkas will be handmade by Govinda, the workshop’s foreman, at the rate of 4 a day…that is real slow fashion!
.For F/W 14-15, Happyeti is also announcing a partnership with New York based brand Milk on the Rocks, that will bring a unique Rock’n Roll take on the Happyeti collection.
