Values. That’s what it’s all about when you talk to the team at the Slow & Organic label Grenz/gang. Values must be rediscovered. And values have to be (again) redefined. The collections of the label founded in 2014, which are inspired by nature and the South Tyrolean mountains, express this with every piece of clothing.

With his extra high demands on sustainability, wunderwerk founder Heiko Wunder does not always have it easy. It’s not about “easy” either. He wants to optimize what can be optimized and therefore for his brand, founded in 2013, consistently refrains from anything that harms people, animals or nature. The result? Sustainable style that easily plays in the big leagues.

ACHAHHA (pronounced A’tschah) comes from Sanskrit and means “good”. If you take a brief look at the philosophy of the Fellbacher Knitwear brand by Sebastian Schulz-Dobrick, it is pretty clear why the name is so suitable.
Organic animal farming, 100 percent certified merino wool, organic and recycled cotton, zero waste production. Due to the innovative 3D knitting process, the seamless knitting process delivers maximum quality without disturbing seams and is washable without the use of chemicals. Apart from that, the timeless, clean knitted classics with V-, round or turtlenecks are not only produced in one piece in the Rhineland using the latest 3D technology on state-of-the-art high-tech machines. The highly complex production machines are also manufactured in Germany.
The knitting duration of the “Made in Germany” sweater is one hour. Thereafter, a little fine tuning is done. The label (which comes from Wuppertal, located in a wonderful region, is produced on machines that are 80 years and older in a traditional ribbon weaving mill) is sewn in, then the quality inspection takes place. The sweaters are then washed, dried and ironed. This step ensures that the goods are delivered in their final condition, which does not change during subsequent washing. Sounds good, am I right?
“Of course, only electricity from renewable energy sources is used during production and the shipment is climate-neutral”.
Are you asking yourself if Sebastian Schulz-Dobrick was already working in fashion before he founded his start-up? Not quite. He was the managing director of a company that manufactures insect screens, among other things. His interest and motivation to run a fashion company that operates transparently and sustainably is purely private. Actually, the Leverkusen-born designer wanted to use nettle yarn from a German company for his collection, but he then decided on merino wool.
“Only the merino wool is not regional. It is sourced from South America.”
What makes merino wool so sustainable? It keeps you warm in winter, maintains a pleasant temperature in summer and is highly resistant to dirt and odors. This makes it very easy to care for. You could also compost the ACHAHHA garments. The meaning of ACHAHHA should be pretty clear by now.

Cozy cashmere and soft sweaters with cool statements like “good vibes” and “keep lovin”, fresh striped looks and cardigans with modern interpretations of classic diamond patterns or sweet hearts in Norwegian style – yes, sustainability can be that casual. The jumpers, sweatpants, scarves, shirts and beanies stand out are its colors – in bright green and squeaky orange. Corinne Samson and Joanna Kapitza’s label is a good mood label.

Their statement: “For the out of the Ordinary”. The two designers, who have vast experience in the textile industry, focus on the individuality and self-confidence of their customers. The quick-witted print shirts and embroidered cashmere jumpers are real statement pieces that not only look good, but also feel great on the skin. All products are designed in Munich and are produced in small family businesses in Portugal and Inner Mongolia, where the two Munich-based women source the high-quality cashmere.
At another brand, there is no mass production, nothing is off the rack. Corinne and Joanna work exclusively with natural materials and know the importance of fair production and sustainability. You can see and feel the quality. Because another brand is not just another clothing brand, but another label. A brand that wants to do something different…
