In 1998, after eight years of study and work in France, our founder, Jianwei Li, returned to Beijing. This moment marked the inception of our journey.
As a General Agent and Master Dealer for renowned international brands in China, Mr. Li successfully introduced these brands to the market and meticulously built a nationwide distribution network.
In 2004, Mr. Li founded his own atelier, driven by a mission to create a design brand that seamlessly blends local craftsmanship with international design talent. His vision extended beyound Asian sensibilities and heritage, embracing global lifestyle trends to resonate with universal aesthetic aspirations.
In 2007, HC28 was launched, making its debut in Beijing and later in Paris with the support of our French partner. The name HC28 derives from our first factory, located 28 kilometers from the Forbidden City, with "HC" symbolizing "Home Creation."
A decade after the launch of HC28, in 2018, we introduced our second brand, HC28 Cosmo. This new venture embodies a bold, youthful, and avant-garde spirit while maintaining an accessible and chic ethos. HC28 continues to focus on timeless elegance and mainstream appeal.
Today, HC28 and HC28 Cosmo boast over 100 mono stores in China and 20 sales points overseas. Our next chapter is to expand further into the global market, transforming our brand into a truly international presence.
