WHAT WE DO
We make basics – simply good basics.
We make T-shirts, henleys, sweatshirts, tanks, knitwear, and accessories.
We are specialists in making unique fabrics on rare 100-year-old loopwheelers in Germany for an authentic vintage appearance
as well as developing new styles with contemporary looks and feel.
All created with well-considered designs and made of high-quality sustainable materials.
Most of our styles are all-time favorites:
they are all year-round essentials, good for any look and mood.
Simply your reliable companions for your good moments in life.
We are a team
We are a team of committed people who share their appreciation for timeless, good design and well-made, reliable products.
We're not perfect, but we're learning every day. And while we do so, we're passionate about the people we encounter as well as the whole process.
We do our best to provide our customers with a service and products that make them look and feel really good.
We are based in Berlin
We love contrasts:
rural to urban,
calm to dynamic,
past to future,
and
traditional to visionary.
