Welcome to RICH & HANC.

Tell us a little bit about your brand?
Berner Kühl is a brand started a couple of years ago, cause I simply wanted to create something better than what is available. A high end brand where you get exactly what you pay for. Quality, made in small family owned factories in either Italy or Portugal, inspired by my upbringing - an education in classic menswear infused with utilitarian elements coming from a background in skiing, running and cycling.
What is the happiest moment in your work experience?
When I sit on the floor in a factory in Italy discussing garment details, construction or make with my suppliers, trying to create the best we can.
Please list your 3 favourite materials?
Bio based nylon, cause it carries all of the characteristics from nylon, but created in a better way, without crude oil.
Wool because it's the most versatile natural fabric I know. From base layer to knitwear to outerwear.
Everything technical.
Who inspires you?
Everyone making an effort, trying to create something meaningful to themselves and others. I often find inspiration in people who does something completely different from myself.
Who are your favourite designers at the moment?
There are so many good ones out there! I think 3Man Media is doing great. Winnie New York is making top product. Arnar Mar Jonsson is nice.Of the OG’s I love Dries, Lemaire, Jil Sander and the Helmut Lang of the nineties.
