Since its founding in the early 20th century, Dehen 1920 has been passed down through five generations, enduring the Great Depression of the 1920s, World War II in the 1940s, and the influx of cheap mass-produced goods as manufacturing shifted to Asia in the 1980s and 1990s. While most brands moved toward lower-cost production and newer but less durable machinery, Dehen continued using antique machines over 50 years old to craft knitwear through a slow, traditional, and highly skilled process.

In today's fast-fashion-driven world, more people are rediscovering the beauty of well-made, long-lasting garments—making Dehen’s products stand out even more.
