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.
Trying to always find that balance between something that performs exceptionally under all conditions, but also doesn’t shout for attention is our objective. We’re making products you don’t have to think too hard about. They’ll always be there for you, as a faithful tool, because we’ve tested them, worn them, and refined them through our own experiences. They’re designed to perform, but also to feel right—natural, intuitive, and long-lasting.
Our focus has been on blending utility with longevity. For us, clothing isn’t just about the immediate—it’s about having a deep connection with what you wear, so we’ve leaned into that, bringing forward natural materials that age beautifully and grow character over time. What stands out this season is the incorporation of our new Canadian wool hand knits, fine Japanese cashmere and French Terry, and robust materials like washed canvas, high-density twill, Japanese Suvin cotton denim.
We spent more time outdoors this past year, and that shows in the palette. There’s a lot of influence from the landscape of the Pacific Northwest and the natural tones that surround us—deep browns, olives, charcoals—all paired with technical performance fabrics like GORE-TEX® Pro, WINDSTOPPER®, and Loro Piana Storm Sytem. We also continue to incorporate insulation innovations from Primaloft® and Polartec® to ensure adaptability and protection that allows you to seamlessly navigate between city and nature.
The collection reflects our ongoing exploration into making things better, to make products that last, and to offer a sense of timelessness in an ever-changing world.
