About HAVEN
HAVEN is a Vancouver-based menswear brand founded in 2006 by brothers Arthur and Daniel Chmielewski. Rooted in the landscapes and climate of the Pacific Northwest, the brand creates refined, functional garments designed to perform across changing environments — from city streets to rugged coastlines. Drawing inspiration from the rhythms of the ocean, forests, and mountains that surround Vancouver, HAVEN develops clothing that balances durability, comfort, and understated design.
At the core of the brand is the HAVEN Permanent Collection — a considered system of essential pieces designed to remain constant season after season. These garments form the foundation of the brand, providing reliable warmth, weather protection, freedom of movement, and everyday comfort. Crafted from premium natural and technical fabrics, each piece is designed to adapt easily to shifting conditions, whether layered for colder weather or worn lightly through warmer months.
Material quality and craftsmanship are central to HAVEN’s approach. Garments are produced in Canada and Japan using high-end materials selected for their performance, durability, and longevity. From lightweight tropical wools and fine cottons to advanced technical fabrics, each textile is chosen to age well and improve through wear. Small production runs and thoughtful design encourage long-term use, reflecting a commitment to sustainability through durability and responsible material sourcing.
HAVEN’s creative direction remains closely connected to the coastal landscapes of British Columbia. Campaigns and editorials often unfold along the rugged shores of Vancouver Island, where rolling tides, open skies, and weathered stone shape the pace of the day. These environments influence the brand’s colour palettes, textures, and silhouettes — garments designed to move easily between ocean, trail, and city.
Built for a life lived between stillness and movement, HAVEN garments combine careful craftsmanship with functional design. The result is clothing that moves naturally across environments — suited for travel, outdoor exploration, and everyday wear — where performance, sustainability, and timeless form remain at the center of every piece.
