Behind The Scenes

In  2019, we took a trip to Ghana to meet our core seamstress and her students that we work with. We were also honoured to meet other makers including Dora and her family of batik and tie & dye makers. Hofs Collections believe that forming genuine face-to-face relationships with our makers is invaluable and intrinsic.
