HANNE BLOCH
Effortless Femininity, Elevated by Nature: Conscious Select × Hanne Bloch
Hanne Bloch founded her namesake brand in Copenhagen in 2008, drawn by a specific frustration with swimwear: that it was either disposable and synthetic or expensive and inaccessible, and that almost none of it was made from natural materials that actually felt good against skin in water. Her answer was silk — one of the oldest and most sensory of all natural fibres — worked into swimwear and resort dressing that moves between beach and evening without asking the wearer to change anything except where they are standing.
Today the brand is guided by a creative partnership between Hanne and her daughter Olivia, a graduate of Parsons School of Design. Two generations, one clear point of view.
The Silk
Every Hanne Bloch piece is made from 100% silk — a natural, biodegradable fibre chosen for its texture, breathability, and the particular way it holds colour and drapes against the body. Signature pieces include luminous silk sets, sculptural bikinis, and fluid cover-ups, all designed to carry effortlessly from water to table to evening. The palette moves between delicate and deep — colour used with the confidence of someone trained in fine art, never decorative for its own sake.
Production takes place in Portugal, at ethical manufacturers chosen for their commitment to fair labour and quality craft. All shipping is CO2 compensated. The brand has been independently operated and unfunded since its founding — a family business in the most literal sense, built slowly and on its own terms.
