Two Haarlem residents, Isabella and Zoë, have launched a clothing brand called HIZ that features locally designed apparel. The entrepreneurs produce their uniseks collection on demand and are expanding their business by collaborating with local designers to represent other cities across the country.
Isabella and Zoë, two young entrepreneurs from Haarlem, have launched a clothing brand that features local designs. Inspired by the trend of wearing apparel displaying hometown names in America, the duo decided to create their own line of shirts, sweaters, and hoodies. They manage the entire production process themselves from their studio in Haarlem, operating on an on-demand basis to ensure sustainability. Their venture, named HIZ, was born from a desire to celebrate their home city through stylish, uniseks clothing rather than traditional tourist souvenirs.
The project relies on community connections, with the founders collaborating with a local photographer and receiving business guidance from their families. The brand has grown significantly since its inception, leading to requests for designs representing other towns and cities. Moving forward, Isabella and Zoë plan to expand their collection to include items like cotton bags and children's clothing. They remain committed to working with local designers to ensure that every garment accurately reflects the unique character of the location it represents.
