In our anniversary year, we are dedicating International Women's Day to a special STRONG WOMAN from HANRO: MADELEINE Kriesemer-Handschin, granddaughter of the company founder and the first iconic HANRO designer. With her unique style and her flair for new trends, she has had a lasting influence on the brand. At the same time, MADELEINE Kriesemer-Handschin symbolises the central role of women, who have been the focus of HANRO for 140 years. One of our anniversary collections is dedicated to her:

'I AM MADELEINE'.


All other anniversary collections are also a tribute to STRONG WOMEN, who have played a pioneering role in society, fashion, politics, science and culture.
