MÜTZENMAFIA

Smart, fashionably informed, natural, cosmopolitan, and at the same time, close to home. What applies to the founder Kristina Blaschitz of the Graz label "Mützenmafia" also describes the character of the collection well. In doing so, she consciously pays attention to acting sustainably in every respect. There‘s the small, fine team in the Styrian capital. Strict attention is paid here to ensuring that the employees feel comfortable. What is not made by hand by the knitters in Austria is made in neighbouring Slovenia. Short transport routes and regionality are important to her. When using raw materials, she attaches great importance to the fact that they are recycled materials, organic cotton or the yarn can be precisely traced using yarn tracking. Animal welfare is our top priority! Since 2011, the label has devoted its heart to the production of hats, headbands and scarves. For her, for him, for the little ones. A lot of love is devoted to the cultural heritage of handicrafts. Customers include large department stores, as well as shops specialising in sustainability, traditional costume shops or fashionable boutiques, as well as concept stores in Austria and Germany. The price ranges between RRP €24 and €74. For customers who value regionality, transparency, craftsmanship, a small, fine-hearted team and very good quality.

Les Racines du Ciel

French, then. Leaving nothing to chance, never too much and never too little, simply nonchalant. Our new knitting "Les Racines Du Ciel", is at home in beautiful Brittany. "Essentially, the only important thing is humanity". This quote is the first thing you see on the homepage, and you can feel its essence expressed in every encounter in the collaboration with Nathalie & Christian. „Les Racines Du Ciel“ is of course, completely and utterly sustainable, environmentally sound, nature-friendly and conscious of animal welfare, and has been for nearly 20 years. The winter collection consists of beautiful, exceedingly high quality and cuddly-soft baby-alpaca and merino wool, cotton-mixtures. Pullovers, cardigans as well as accessories. In the summer, light knits made of organic cotton, linen, or merino wool mixtures. „We chose workshops in Bulgaria and Portugal that were of a manageable size. The spinning mills we work with in Italy are often connected with environmental programmes like Greenpeace or Cotton for Life. Our raw materials and dye works are certified and fulfil high environmental standards".

The prices run in the MSRP range of between € 169 and € 289. You will find the label between Paris and Tokyo in small, endearing shops that have specialized in sustainability as well as in well-known concept or department stores.

For customers who are looking for beautiful, cool basics in high-grade quality with that certain relaxed „Je ne sais quoi“!
