In a world where fashion often celebrates surface over substance, Deux Mains continues to redefine what luxury means, blending craftsmanship, conscience, and courage. This season, the brand unveils a powerful second collaboration with Billy Billingham, star of Fox’s TV show Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.  Billingham, a British Special Forces veteran, humanitarian, and global adventurer, in partnership with his wife, fashion entrepreneur Julie Colombino-Billingham introduce the Camouflage Collection, a tribute to strength, integrity, and the beauty of purposeful design.

The collaboration between Julie and Billy isn’t just creative, it’s deeply personal. The couple shares a life rooted in service: Julie’s humanitarian work in Haiti led to the founding of Deux Mains, a fair trade fashion brand dedicated to creating dignity through work, not charity. Billy, after decades of military service, has devoted his post-forces career to inspiring leadership and resilience worldwide.

This second collaboration collection unites courage with craftsmanship. Every piece in the Camouflage Collection is handcrafted by Haitian artisans in Haiti's only women-owned, solar-powered factory. The line merges military precision with artisanal detail, symbolizing the quiet strength found in both service and sustainability.

Design Meets Discipline

The Camouflage Collection features sleek, structured silhouettes inspired by military design but refined through the lens of ethical luxury. Expect durable leathers, minimalist lines, and utilitarian elegance, pieces that transition seamlessly from adventure to everyday life.

“We wanted to create something that honors the discipline and bravery of those who serve,” Julie explains, “while also celebrating the artistry of the Haitian makers who bring each piece to life. It’s strength meeting soul.”

From Haiti to the World

Every purchase from Deux Mains already contributes to sustaining fair-wage jobs and economic independence in Haiti. The Camouflage Collection goes further: it’s designed to spark conversation about what ethical fashion can look like when built on respect, partnership, and shared values.

For Billy Billingham, whose career has taken him from the battlefield to mentoring leaders across the globe, this collaboration represents a new kind of mission. “The craftsmanship in Haiti is world-class,” he shares. “These artisans pour their skill and spirit into every stitch. Supporting that kind of talent while creating something functional and beautiful is an honor.”

Each bag and accessory in the Camouflage Collection is a statement piece not because of logos or flash, but because of its purpose. The artisans who build them are the heart of the brand: skilled Haitian craftspeople whose hands transform locally sourced leather into symbols of hope.

By wearing a Deux Mains × Billingham piece, you carry more than a beautiful bag or accessory. You carry a story of resilience, craftsmanship, and human connection, proof that conscious fashion can be both elegant and empowering.

Recognition and Reception

Already, the collaboration has caught the attention of fashion editors and ethical lifestyle media. The respected men’s publication Unfinished Man recently featured the Camouflage Collection in its latest style coverage, praising its balance of durability, refinement, and social impact.

Their article described the shotgun wallet as “a practical design that meets serious strength...when you carry this wallet, you know you're supporting families and a positive mission."  That acknowledgment underscores the growing influence of Deux Mains in the conscious-luxury space and the global appetite for brands that lead with heart.

At its core, the Deux Mains × Billy Billingham Camouflage Collection represents what happens when two missions merge: the will to serve and the will to empower. It’s a collection built not in boardrooms but in workshops filled with laughter, resilience, and the hum of sewing machines powered by the Haitian sun.

This is more than fashion, it’s a statement. One that says style can have a conscience, luxury can have legacy, and camouflage can stand for compassion.
