The Power of Craft and Collaboration
The release of our Camouflage Collection with Billy Billingham has sparked incredible conversations, not just about design, but about what true purpose looks like in fashion.
When Deux Mains began in Haiti, our goal was never simply to make beautiful things. It was to make things that matter, pieces that carry stories of resilience, craftsmanship, and courage. The latest media coverage, from MSN to Unfinished Man, has highlighted how deeply that mission runs through this collection.
Recognition Rooted in Purpose
In its feature, Unfinished Man called our Shotgun Wallet “a practical design that meets serious strength” a line that beautifully captures what we aim for at Deux Mains.
The MSN article echoed this sentiment, spotlighting how the Camouflage Collection blends military precision with meaningful purpose. To us, that recognition isn’t just press, it’s proof that consumers around the world are craving authenticity, substance, and sustainability in what they carry.
Strength with Soul
Designed in partnership with Billy Billingham and his wife, Julie Colombino-Billingham, this collection represents more than style. It embodies a shared belief in courage, compassion, and craft.
Each piece is handmade by Haitian artisans in our women-owned, solar-powered factory, using responsibly sourced surplus leather. The result: timeless pieces built to last and built to empower.
As Billy says:
“The craftsmanship in Haiti is world-class. These artisans pour their skill and spirit into every stitch.”
The Power of Craft and Collaboration
What makes this collaboration so meaningful is not just the product, but the process. It’s about connection between maker and wearer, between purpose and design.
For our artisans in Haiti, every piece represents the dignity of work and the pride of creation. For Billy, it’s a reflection of the discipline and determination forged in service. For you, it’s a chance to carry something that matters, something made with both heart and style.
Thank you to MSN and Unfinished Man for helping us share that story with the world and to every person who carries a Deux Mains piece and keeps that purpose alive.
The Gift of Purpose
As this time of year brings the search for meaningful gifts, the Camouflage Collection offers something truly special for the men in your life.
Handmade, sustainable, and designed to last. It is the ultimate gift for him.
