Founder
Andersson Bell Heritage is the higher-tier traditional-craft sub-line of Andersson Bell, the contemporary Korean-Scandinavian menswear-and-womenswear brand founded in 2014 in Seoul by Doneik Ae Kim and Andersson Bell co-founder. The Heritage sub-line was launched in 2020 as the brand's deliberately-traditional-Korean-and-Scandinavian-craft sub-brand, with the main Andersson Bell line serving as the broader contemporary-streetwear-and-luxury offering. The Andersson Bell Heritage vocabulary settled around several recurring elements: hand-knitted Korean-cotton and Scandinavian-wool sweaters with traditional motif references (the sub-line's defining product category), deconstructed cotton-and-linen tailored separates with hand-finished detail, hand-printed silk shirts with traditional Korean and Scandinavian textile-pattern references, and a colour palette anchored to washed-cream, oxblood, ecru, washed-charcoal, soft-pink, plus the brand's recurring use of natural-indigo and traditional-Korean-dye colour combinations. Production is split between Seoul workshops and selected European craft partners. The sub-line is part of the broader Andersson Bell parent house. Andersson Bell Heritage distributes through every Andersson Bell flagship store globally — anchored to Seoul (Hannam-dong — the brand's home flagship), plus international wholesale through SSENSE, MATCHES, MR PORTER, Dover Street Market, Lane Crawford, the Boontheshop network in Seoul, and a curated set of luxury menswear specialty retailers globally. The Heritage sub-line has been one of the more quietly disciplined post-2020 Korean-Scandinavian 'traditional-craft-revival' sub-lines.
