reminiscing about this floral camouflage & zooming out moment. 🧞‍♀️💜 haven’t posted in a while here but i just felt like sharing this because this memory reminds me of one key learnings to hold on to these days: self pressure and forcing things creates counter-pressure. ⁣

💥 I guess we have all been there, in times when everything seems to be crashing down on you and you give it all you got to keep things going, it is often difficult to take the pressure off - but so worth it. ⁣

✨ with this in mind, let's challenge ourselves to take a step back. let go the things that do not serve you and focus on what brings you one step closer to your goal. it's easier said than done, but if it helps: you are not the only one feeling like this. ⁣

🚀 i guess it’s about finding a balance of commitment, hustle, joy and curiosity that keeps challenging you - while not letting you forget about your deepest motivation. ⁣

what’s your secrets sauce to keep up with challenging times? 🌚

dream teams come true. 🫶🏽✨ beyond grateful for been all those learnings, memories as well as lots of ups and downs we have already made together. with the opening of the pop-up corner of at .store, we marked another milestone as an even a bigger motivation for everything to come! ⁣

besides those opening flashback favorites, here’s to 3 lessons that have been key during the last months:⁣

1. your team is your greatest unique value proposition 🙌🏽 whether you’re facing hard times or competitors trying to copy your brand - as long as the team stands together and everyone can fulfill their strengths, you will get through it and keep on staying true to your vision. ⁣

2. keep on learning 👀 from surveys to research, from events or taking customer feedbacks seriously - never stop to be a sponge soaking up everything around you, diversifying your vision. 🕵🏼‍♀️⁣

3. impact means collaboration 🌎 to build meaningful business in current times means to raise impact whenever possible while growing as a brand. and here’s the thing: together we are stonger. so it’s about finding the partners that follow the same values, mission and purpose. ⁣

& one key ingredient should never be missing: enjoy the journey and make it fun. 💜 thank you to the best team for making this all happen. 🚀 ⁣

𝐢 𝐜𝐡𝗼𝗼𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝗼 𝐫𝐞𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞... ♻️💜 complete the sentence in the comments. 👇🏽 advertisement // to me, reusing clothes is more than something that sets a statement – but actively thriving change while re-discovering and re-ENJOYING the crazy amount of garments which are already there. ⁣🙌🏽

together with the academy, we broke down 3 facts that proof the impact of a circularity even more:⁣

🌎 extending the live of clothes by just 9 extra months of use could reduce carbon, water and waste footprints by 20-30% each. ⁣

🗑 73% of clothes lands up on landfills. ⁣

😳 over the last 15 years, the clothing production has doubled whereas utilization has decreased by more than 30%.⁣

to sum up: actively choosing to reuse can have a massive impact and may eventually increase the demand to produce less, set up new standards and invest in circularity innovation. 👀 this vintage blazer is from the pre-owned section and I love that i could extend the usage by rewearing, restyling it - and eventually renting it out on to continue the cycle! ⁣

🙌🏽💚 now let’s share your motivation that makes you to choose to reuse. ⁣

5 facts about the colors in our clothes. 🎨⚡️// advertisement // textile dyeing is one of the most polluting aspects of the global fashion industry. however, those facts should not lead to disillusion – but motivate you to ask for change by supporting and wearing game-changers such as . 🌱 as consumers, we have such a huge potential to accelerate a radical shift, but it’s about KNOWING WHY first ☝🏼: ⁣

1. 💦 along with finishing of our clothes (bleaching, softening etc.), dyeing is the most polluting and energy-intensive processes involved in the production.⁣
2. 💥 ever-changing color trends mean that more kinds of chemicals have to be used.⁣
3. ❗️typically, garment factories in big export countries like Bangladesh dump accumulated rests of color and unusable, chemical-laden wastewater into nearby rivers and lakes.⁣
4. 🌿 the polluted and toxic wastewater leads to a loss of biodiversity and can lead to illness, health or skin problems. ⁣

✊🏾✊🏼🌎 let’s just do better: we are great together. by actively raising awareness we can prevent the fashion industry from becoming even dirtier. this means, our individual choices matter – on a personal and on a higher global level.⁣

the t-shirt and jeans are made from organic cotton with no additional dyes. by wearing those jeans, I am saying goodbye to toxic colors, synthetic pesticides and toxic bleach. it’s our turn to be game-changers. 👋🏼 ⁣

𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 ♻️ 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞? this next week marks a year after founding . 💜 it has been a rollercoaster time, i have been learning every day and i am incredibly grateful for all the people who are part of our journey. 🌚

🌈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: never have i thought that founding a start-up would be so challenging, rewarding and amazing at the same time. the last months have been intense and i was never tested on so many levels – but it has been the best time ever. having motivating, supporting and inspiring people around and growing with a team together with my partner in crime is what makes it all even more worth it. 🤍 once you know people love and appreciate what you do, you hold on to that vision even more.

so as a little motivation kick 💥 if you have that dream in mind. go for it. if you have people supporting you, treat them with kindness and gratitude. if you are afraid to take the final jump, take it, you won’t regret it.
