HEN’S TEETH – THAT’S ALL YOU NEED –
– Timeless Standard Kit –
Project by Davide Biondi
Hen’s Teeth originates from the wish to realize a
timeless standard kit of cloths, anything you need
contained in a bag. It is based on what history has
always considered immortal icons, articles of clothing
which are not temporary and, above all, strictly “Made in Italy”.
Why Hen’s Teeth? Many ask me about the origin and meaning of the name.
It’s an idiom as hens do not possess teeth, the implication is that something is rare to the point of non-existence. The phrase was originally a US colloquialism, dating from the mid 19th century. Extremely rare, extremely difficult or impossible to find.
” I chose this name because my brand is and will remain a product tailored to the smallest detail, followed by me in every phase, impossible to make in series, difficult to make each piece identical to the other. Tailoring and dexterity are the hallmark of the brand. I like to be the last phase of my products: I take the garment from the hands of the last lady who finished it and look at it until I’m exhausted! I clean it from the last remaining threads, hammer the rivets by hand, each stamp inside the garment is handmade, I write the size, stamp the tags and fold the product ready to be passed into Your hands”
