Our story

Two friends, one fairy world

We are two Berliners who set out to whisk you away into our enchanted world of fashion. We share a friendship of many years and a love of mysticism and fairies.

It all began in 2008 with a simple idea: let’s print fairies on T-shirts! Jackets, jumpers and dresses soon followed, all adorned with our little mythical creatures. Today we create our own fashion designs, which our team makes in our studio in Berlin-Lichtenberg.

And so a shared dream of a creative, self-determined life has grown into a small business that brings us joy every single day.

  • Designed in Berlin

    Every style and every fairy motif is created in our studio – no copies, no catalogue goods.

  • Fairly sewn

    Our team cuts and sews in Berlin-Lichtenberg – under fair conditions and with an eye for detail.

  • No mass production

    We make to order and in small batches. We only start sewing once you order.
