HAVEN / 33 Acres ‘Super Crisp’ Rice Lager

At HAVEN, we’ve always believed in the power of connections—the kind built through shared experiences, conversations, and of course, good food and drinks. The inspiration for Super Crisp stems from these very moments. My brother and I have spent years traveling, building partnerships and friendships that often began over a cold beer or a warm meal. Within our company, those same moments have been a cornerstone of HAVEN’s journey—from the early days of our small startup to where we are today.

HAVEN Fall/Winter 2024 Process

For our HAVEN Fall/Winter 2024 collection, it’s all about creating pieces that can last a lifetime. We’ve always believed in building products that are not just functional, but truly integral to how you live. This season is particularly close to me because, as I get older, my personal approach to design has matured—I’m drawn to creating things that can evolve with you over time, garments that you can wear for years and continue to love.
