History & Sustainability
Blutsgeschwister was founded on a sunny Ash
Wednesday in March 2001 by a small circle of visionaries, free spirits and
hedonists. One of them was Karin Ziegler, who to this day is responsible for the
creation of all collections. The place, an abandoned industrial wasteland near
Stuttgart's northern railway station, seemed ideal for the development of what
Blutsgeschwister has been standing for ever since those days: creating a
distinctive brand of fashion for potential soulmates and enchant the fashion
world with 'German Schick' and fantastic storytelling. In 2009, the wind of
change blew hard, and the creative mothership headed for Berlin. Stephan Künz
came aboard in 2009, running the business side of things in swabian hub
Stuttgart until 2015. One year later, all Blutsgeschwister people united their
forces in the Berlin headquarters.
From the very beginnings, we were pumped to
stir up fashion monotony with silliness and flashes of genius. Our goal remains
the enchantment of the world through our ideas, patterns, colours and stories.We
don't follow trends, but instead create our own carefree worlds, sometimes
inspired by time travels. Our collections tend to cite traditions, combined in
unique ways with modern urbanity. Every item has its own clever name and tells
its own story. Artful cuts flattering women's silhouettes, and striking
colour/pattern designs exclusively designed by Blutsgeschwister: you can tell by
the work(wo)manship that, not unlike our customers, we like it
sophisticated.
Our brand symbols - cross, heart and anchor -
stem from seafaring. Yet for us, they stand for the faith in the individual,
love for creativity and our down-to-earth attitude. Which practically speaking
means: we insist on a fair togetherness, no matter if we're dealing with our
colleagues, our customers or our suppliers. We develop our creations in
Berlin by ourselves. Also, we like to think and act as sustainably as possible,
emphasizing long-lasting quality and gentle use of our natural resources.
Under the Blutsgeschwister umbrella, you'll
spot our product line Blutsgeschwister Ladies, the unconventional designer
collection for women. The Blutsgeschwister Kids is also there, providing kids
with clothing inspired by the grown-up clothes - mama and kid in partner look.
But creativity does not stop at the hemline with Blutsgeschwister:
Blutsgeschwister Accessories completes the collections for ladies with a range
of individualistic companions such as bags, purses and also hairbands.
Our
responsibility
Our collections cite traditions and combine
these in unique ways with modern urbanity. Our cuts are made artfully, the
striking colour and fabric designs are exclusively produced by us, and the
workmanship is as sophisticated as our customers'
tastes.
With extraordinary ideas, patterns, colours and
stories, we want to put a smile on your beautiful face and keep it there for the
longest while. We do not follow trends, but create our own carefree worlds
inspired by time travels. Our products are, thus,
timeless.
They are enduring favourites - their longevity
a testament to our sustainable product
design!
