Out of an innate desire to create, HDH was founded in the Spring of 2010 by the combination of Lisa Hackwith, lead designer; and husband Dustin Hackwith lead graphic artist. Both Dustin and Lisa grew up in rural parts of the Midwest in families that one; had a natural instinct to be creative, two; resourcefulness, and three; unrestrained boundaries. With this in mind, HDH came into being out of a
family tradition of making Christmas presents; specifically the “fashion fleece”, a new take on a warm, winter sweater for both men and women. From the fashion fleece sprung a desire to make clothing for men and women that was different than the status quo, fashionable, and highly functional. Shortly after the fashion fleece, in a swirl of beautiful floral and color blocked dresses, spring brought with it the creation of Hackwith Design House’s women's wear. Buyers began to notice and Hackwith Design House soon found itself in boutiques across America and even a few worldwide.
