“DISCONNECTED KNIGHTS EXPLORING KINGDOMS” collection is more than clothing or hype, it’s a personal challenge and a call to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature. After two years of dedication, we’ve created durable garments designed to inspire exploration and self-discovery.
Our global addiction to smartphones has reached staggering levels, with some spending over 12 hours a day scrolling. Imagine this: 10 hours a day for a decade equals 4 years lost to mindless doomscrolling.
The best way to fight digital addiction is through travel and as is well known, a battle requires a uniform, which is why we designed garments inspired by military attire, both in style and the quality of fabrics and stitching. Military clothing is known for its durability against wear and tear. The camouflage pattern was specifically chosen to blend and harmonize with nature. The abundance of pockets aids in travel, allowing you to keep essentials close at hand. The Skimask Zipper continues our previous designs and encourages exploration of snowy mountains. Supporting tourism in remote areas strengthens isolated communities, but it’s important to respect their environment and traditions. It’s also an opportunity to practice skiing, which this jacket was specially designed for.
Every detail in this collection has a purpose and nothing is random, from the choice of name and colors to the stickers, fabric, and design…This commitment to excellence cost us a lot of time and effort and to achieve the desired result, we even sacrificed the marketing budget. Additionally, only a limited number of products will be released compared to usual, as the high level of quality we aim for requires significant expenses. A key factor in this decision is our commitment to local production workshops that respect workers’ rights, pay fair wages, and adhere to ethical practices. This ensures we maintain professional ethics towards society and the environment, something that is challenging to find, especially when producing limited quantities. Even when we find partners willing to meet these standards, it’s naturally far more expensive compared to factories that underpay workers, or place them in near-slavery conditions, which we refuse to ignore.
“D.K.E.K.” is more than clothing, it’s an invitation. A call to return to nature, honor traditions, and embark on a journey of self-discovery. It’s a lifestyle, a balance between technology and the natural world, and a challenge to explore kingdoms within and beyond ourselves
