Trip to Holland

Last week notAbrand went to Holland in search of new and exiting brands.
We started out in Amsterdam where we visited the people from JUX. On our walk about Amsterdam we met so many exiting new people. Tomas and Liza from OntFront, trendy menswear brand, Martijn and Alfredo from Fromanteel, cool watchbrand, and Linda fromDutchies, great bag and accessories brand were among the favorites. This week already we will be proud to present super trendy styles from OntFront at notAbrand.
In Arnhem we passed by the shop of sustainable clothing brand Van Markoviec and had a great chat with Mirjam from bag and accessories brand Berendsen/Van den Dungen. Also we paid a visit to the lovely shop "Coming Soon from Arnhem" which is a must when visiting.
On our last day we visited the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. We saw so many great, crazy and wonderful things, which was very inspiring. We also met ceramics designer Lenneke Wispelway who had made quite the show with the wondrous lamps from Paula Arntzen.
We are really looking forward to collaborating with our new Dutch friends and hope we'll be able to present them to you at notAbrand shortly.
Have a great day!
Love, the notAbrand team.

She makes fashion too...

The designer behind ICH MACHE AUCH MODE is Danish Johanne Aarup Hansen. In 2010 she is to be an interaction designer from the Designschool Kolding. The bag collection is a handcraft related project to satisfy her more fashion related interest.

The Mobile-kat is a small bag to hang around the neck for the cell phone or the mp3 player. The bag is four colored and comes in various color combinations. The bags from ICH MACHE AUCH MODE are produced in Randers in Denmark at CBR, a social activation project with a high flexibility for people who doesn’t fit the general working market.

The bag project started with a fascination of the fabric and all its various colours. The idea is to create different bags with different functions, in interesting color combinations so everybody should be able to find a combination that fits to their cloths, style or mood. The colored bags doesn’t follow fashion trends but is created with the thought in mind that there should be a color combination for everybody. Each combination is produced in maximum 100 pieces.
