For example, our plant-dyed clothing is handwoven by around 400 families in a traditional way and with love.
It is important to us that your new favorite piece has "soul." And that cannot be achieved through mass production. That is why each of our products is made by hand.
In every area possible, our goal is to keep our carbon footprint as low as possible and to be part of a better tomorrow.

Ordering and shipping
Uns ist wichtig, dass Kaufentscheidungen bewusst getroffen werden. Somit tragen wir gemeinsam zu weniger unnötigen Konsum und zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit bei.
Dennoch verstehen wir, dass man sich online weniger gut ein Bild des Produkts machen kann, als vor Ort. Daher ist unser Versand und Retoure kostenlos, um dir die maximale Sicherheit zu geben.
Ungenutzte Ware, die sich im Originalzustand befindet, kann innerhalb 30 Tagen retourniert werden.

Products
That's not quite right.
The handwork in all processes creates uniqueness. Unlike with machine or industrial production, there are sometimes small, sometimes larger deviations. That is exactly what makes the pieces unique. The charm. The uniqueness.

This varies depending on the product.
From clothing that is manufactured in the traditional way by hundreds of families in Latin America through non-profit organizations to wood products that are produced regionally and sustainably from local wood from Bavaria, for example.
What is important to us is that unique items are produced as sustainably as possible and, above all, manufactured under fair conditions and wages.
We are always in close contact and also work on site, for example in Latin America, to fulfill our promise.
Details about the individual products can be found under Sustainability & Transparency
The products are made by hand in the traditional way, similar to an arts and crafts market. This makes them special and unique and gives you the opportunity to express yourself with a one-of-a-kind item.
At the same time, thanks to fair pay, the products have a positive impact on the families and artisans who produce them in Latin America.
It is important to us that your new favorite piece has "soul." And that cannot be achieved through mass production.
A number of factors are taken into account when determining the price. A large part of the price is, of course, the fair wages of the craftsmen. But design development, marketing, customer support, logistics and storage also have to be taken into account.
Our goal is to be able to make a valuable contribution to this system in a sustainable and long-term way. Therefore, our focus is clearly not on the cheapest price, but on the best overall package. From paying the craftsmen properly to a fabulous shopping experience to the point where you can express your personality even more with wonderful, handmade products.
