BRAND PROFILE
Loom Loop was founded by Polly and Andy. One is a dreamer the other a perfectionist, it was a chance encounter with a 300-year-old heritage fabric, a low-rent studio space in Central and with a little luck Loom Loop was born in 2014 in PMQ, Soho HK. When the designers saw the heritage fabric “Canton silk”, they were bowled over by the artisan techniques employed to dye the silk using a plant-based dye, river mud and solar power. They saw the potential of this forgotten fabric, and were driven to design high-quality clothes that reflects its true value. The brand DNA has strong emphases on sustainable fashion and conservation of traditional craftsmanship. Their core concept is to retell stories of the past in the present. The past treasures are conserved and continued into the future with their contemporary design and commitment in preservation of our heritage.

设计意念源自中国「上下山老虎」
LOOM LOOP设计师何善恒经常将传统中国文化融入设计，其新系列也不例外，意念源自中国文化象征之一：上下山老虎。 「有一天，我离开中环元创方(PMQ)的自家店后，走到附近的绿色铁皮档找改衣车工，途经另一摊档，一对上下山老虎刺绣挂画突然映入眼帘，好奇之下买来收藏，档主还告知上山虎寓意步步高升，下山虎象征保护家宅平安。 及后我途经古庙，细看附近一带，突然发现新旧建筑物交替，印象尤其深刻。」
The design meaning come from China ‘s “Climbing tiger and go downhill tiger”
Polly Ho always integrate China traditional culture into her design, the new collection “Concrete Jungle “is also no exception. The meaning root of one symbol of China culture, which is“The climbing tiger and the go downhill tiger”. “ One day, I just left my shop in PMQ and while walking to a clothing workshop，passing one shop with a embroid picture hanging on, I was so curious and bought it, the shop owner tell me the climbing tiger implied meaning of promoting step by step, the go downhill tiger stand for protecting home. And after that I met with an old temple on the way, I found the buildings around it are old ones and new one mixed together, the scene left me a deep impression.” Said by Polly Ho.
何善恒灵机一触，决定以文化交汇的石屎森林为题，将老虎、庙宇的云纹、孔雀浮雕变成印花，打造成是次系列的灵魂。 整个系列的连身裙、羊毛大褛均以西式剪裁为主，而且在细节中处处展现东方文化色彩。 「中国盘扣是主要的点缀饰物，由庇护工场员工人手制作。 系在大褛外的日式腰封贯彻品牌的多层次穿搭(Layering)风格。」
On a sudden inspiration, Holly Ho decided use the cross-culture buildings as the new collection’s theme, make tiger, temple pattern prints as the collection’s soul. The whole collection’s one piece dress、wool coats are mainly used western cutting and show eastern patterns in the details. “The shirt-fronts are all handmade and extensive used for embellish in whole collection.” Polly Ho said.

So many years I still keep in touch with the creator Misa Harada, and I’m so touched that got supplied of her this time.
何善恒说，真丝质地很柔软，需要以硬模托底才能制作出坚挺耐用的帽饰，帽边加上网纱遮盖半面更添神秘感；其中一款像渔夫帽，可配衬日常服饰，另一款打了蝴蝶结，适合出席赛马或交际活动。
Polly Ho also said that the silk texture is very soft, and it is necessary to use a hard mold to make a strong and durable hat. The brim of hat with the net yarn can cover half of the face will generate a sense of mystery. One of them is like a fisherman’s hat, which can be matched with daily clothes. And another one with a bowknot is suitable for attending horse racing or social activit
