“The value of handmade work lies in the fact that you can never find two pieces that are identical. The work itself is like an anti-counterfeiting label. Each piece carries its own uniqueness, like a fingerprint.” Kinyan Lam launched his eponymous brand in 2023. He collaborates with artisans in Guizhou, China, to incorporate and preserve traditional techniques, aiming to bring cultural practices into modern design and support local communities. Lam’s designs, often inspired by nature, reflect a deep commitment to cultural craftsmanship and encourage wearers to reflect on the provenance of their clothing and life itself.
