We're passionate about

good manufacturing

The textiles of the GOOD ORIGINALS line are manufactured on original loopwheelers on the Swabian Alb ever since. The loopwheelers are all from a time between 1889 and 1960 making them extremely limited.

When it comes to picking a production facility for the GOOD BASICS line, we have our core values to steer us:

• making the best pieces of authentic vintage clothing possible

• paying attention to the exclusive use of high-quality materials,

• fair working conditions.

Our manufacturers embody everything we attach importance to:

kind, reliable people who are passionate about their crafts and about the people they work with.

People who share the same love for subtle designs and work-ethic like us; who appreciate good materials and socially responsible manufacturing processes; who embrace life and enjoy sharing all that is good.

GOOD ORIGINALS – made in Germany. GOOD BASICS – made in Portugal.

All designed in Berlin.

Every piece made of best materials with experience and appreciation.

GOOD ORIGINALS

Original. Loopwheeler. Germany.

GOOD ORIGINALS is all about timeless favorites, based on original and authentic cuts: typical vintage styles from the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, and from the 1950s – 1980s as well as a few limited seasonal highlights.

The GOOD ORIGINALS line is where we come from. Our heritage.

Garments directly inspired by a traditional way of making textiles.
