When your thoughts are so many that your head starts expanding and your home becomes smaller… 1 of the things that can save your brains from going 'coocoo' in situations like lockdowns, illness or other forms of isolation, is imagination. 

Strangely we were planning on doing a print featuring Mexican housing architecture before we had to stay home because of Co-vid. So when we got caught by it was almost unavoidable not to draw people stuck in them.

So here is a colourful, nearly cheerful memory of your individual, and our shared time in lockdown in our homes - it did have good and bad moments.  

New Collection 2020

'HEY WONDER FOOL WORLD' is dedicated to a time we live(d) in strange madness. The idea to work on a collection with this topic arose before Co-vid hit the world - how strange the little we had to adapt to continue with the ideas of our designs.

The collection expresses the fascination for the wonderful place we live in, yet including an observation of fast transformation due to our rapid and somewhat strange human development. How different the world, values and life styles looked in the 80's. 

We address new 'behaviour trends' in our 'Hey Yogini' print, keep record of the latest global event in our 'Home' print and with 'Electric Jungle' we go back to the safe zone: nature, for being an endless inspirational source. 

DONATION-BASED DESIGN 

The 'Home' design is dedicated to the current refugee situation and we donate 2,- EUR per shorts sold to 'Help Refugees'. They have been helping in the refugee camps in Greece since 2015 and have an approach that involves supporting locals and local activities. Due to the current situation, worsened by Corona, we want to support their efforts.

FABRIC AND WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

This collection is produced with a natural textile that is composed of 64% bamboo, 24% cotton and 12% elastane. After a long search of the perfect fabric for our designs we are finally content with the softness, breathability, thickness and fit of the material. Plus it is made out of natural resources - bamboo is known to be a sustainable plant because it grows quickly and doesn't require chemicals to do so. 

To retain the colours on this fabric please follow the washing instructions carefully: turn around to wash, cold wash (max. 40º), air dry & no fabric softener.
