ORIGINAL & UNIQUE
Our origin is making unique fabrics for our GOOD ORIGINALS line, using original, rare, over 100-year-old loopwheeler machines, located in Germany. 

We are proud to be one of the last companies worldwide that still manufactures in this authentic, rare and traditional manner. 

The GOOD BASICS line was launched in 2017 for designs with modern colors, new organic and recycled materials, and contemporary styles.



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

All designed in Berlin.

Every piece made of best materials with experience and appreciation
