Fashion from Hamburg

funkelwerk. für das funkeln in deinen augen.

(funkelwerk.)

Christiane Wagener has been designing and manufacturing bags and accessories from high-quality leather and fabrics in her Hamburg factory since 2013. She likes materials that develop their very own patina over time, become even more beautiful from year to year, and always bring a sparkle to her customers' eyes. The purist look of her collection combines casualness with Scandinavian-influenced elegance, zeitgeist with timelessness. It is important to her that the design survives more than just one trend season and is still in the spirit of the times. Appointments are available by appointment.

JAN ‘N JUNE

(Michael Rüttger)

Nordic, clear-cut and minimalistic – for Jan ’n June, the sustainable fashion label from Hamburg, transparency and style simply belong together. A QR code on each garment provides information on the relevant item, i.e. on the material used – such as organic cotton, linen or recycled polyester – and on the production location, such as Wrocław, Poland. The two fashion designers Juliana Holtzheimer and Anna Bronowski demonstrate that eco fashion produced under fair conditions can be both elegant and affordable. Their collection is available at selected retailers and from the Jan 'n June online shop.

Combining modern design elements and traditional techniques, the label also creates hand-made textile wall decorations. All of the fashion and home accessories are unique items made in Hamburg.

Bridge & Tunnel

(Bridge&Tunnel: Lisa Rothfuss)

This Hamburg denim label bridges the gap between professional design and disadvantaged members of society by providing opportunities for socially vulnerable people such as refugees. At the same time, Bridge&Tunnel stands for a sustainable use of raw materials: the waste material derived from the production process as well as old textiles provide the basis for any new garment. In this way, valuable material resources are given a new lease of life, and talent from all over the world are given a fulfilling job. And besides, each of the items produced is unique!

Colored and graphic pieces are combined with denim fabrics, baggy pants and oversized layering.
