Is it a trend? Let's hope yes.
It seems that Orike Muth's wonderful design pieces are now marketed by a Hamburg based
agency; whatever mag I browse, the retail info quote neither her website nor her Hannover store anymore. So maybe that is a measure for the mass [and that agency better release their updated site soon] - I think more bloggers should be plugging her and her friend's super creative businesses.
Orike Muth - the bestest print screen designer I have seen around my hometown. You will fall in love with her colors and designs.
Hut up - she is a hat designer, makes wonderful
pieces. The shop windows always look a bit retro; very stylish and romantic.
Aurix Schmuck - this woman is talented. I love her chunky ring especially. Friends of mine had their wedding bands designed there.
You should see the actual site - the neighbourhood where the shops are located, the overall ambience. Very creative, very artistic, very inviting.
And since I never said there wasn't good stuff from independent designers available here in Germany, but rather that there isn't
enough of them, let me add to this list the website of
herzallerliebst.
And now excuse me. The sewing machine awaits...
