Donders 1860

Donders 1860 was born out of love for the craft. More than 160 years ago, the letter H.F. Donders on the facade of a building in Bakkerstraat (Arnhem – The Netherlands) . This place is the foundation of our heritage. This was the base where sheets, trouser fabrics, silk ties and ready-to-wear were made. Craft in its purest form, where beautiful pieces were worked on with great dedication, passion and attention to detail

The fifth generation builds its tower on the solid foundation laid by previous generations. We changed course and focused entirely on (leather) jackets. It was also time to say goodbye to our beloved Arnhem, to be able to continue at full speed in a larger space in Duiven. Here Donders 1860 took even more shape. Photo credit : Donders 1860
