Everyday icons are so omnipresent that they get overlooked. Simple things have a particular story — may it be their design, production or use. These plain objects speak to us on an instinctive level.

We know our sources but we don't buy from them. We buy from multiple local shops. That way we leave shares of profit in the local ecosystem.
No Bargaining Policy
We don't bargain. Our partners set the price and we pay it. We understand the value of work, and that we can't see everything that goes into it — so we trust.
Transparency
We strive for full transparency with every stakeholder involved. This includes prices for every step in the supply chain, up until you, the customer. This is a dream, we are not there yet, but we work towards it.
