The Excel collection comprises hoodies and crewnecks. Each piece features a contemporary boxy fit, enhanced by a prominent two-needle cover stitch, which adds to the aesthetic appeal and reinforces durability. The fabric's unique texture is a result of a rare slow-knitting process combined with specialized garment wash treatments, ensuring a soft yet resilient finish. Additionally, [durable ribbed cuffs and hems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ravella) provide enhanced comfort and versatility for individuals who want to dress up or down the pieces. In keeping with its refined aesthetic, each piece in the collection is discreetly branded with a signature Haven tag sewn into the left cuff. The collection is available in four sophisticated colors—earth, black, graphite, and grey. The HAVEN Excel collection is currently available for purchase on HAVEN's website.
