Badges
Why we use badges
Badges are our way of telling the quieter stories behind each product. They offer insight into where something is made, how it comes into being, and the values that shape it along the way. Whether it’s local craftsmanship, mindful material choices, or a commitment to doing good, badges help you find pieces that align with what matters to you.
They are there to guide rather than decide for you. A way to understand at a glance, without having to read every detail. Handmade, recycled, locally crafted, or created with purpose.
Think of badges as small signposts, helping you discover, compare, and connect more closely with the makers and their work.

Upcycled
Made from reused materials or objects without breaking them down. Upcycling is about seeing potential where others see waste, adding craft, character, and care to what already exists.
By giving overlooked materials a new purpose, upcycled pieces extend their life, reduce waste, and celebrate creativity as a form of responsibility.

Made without any animal-derived materials, such as leather, wool, silk, beeswax, or animal-based dyes.

This badge highlights products created with a clear social or environmental purpose. Each piece carries a story of giving back, shaped by Nordic makers who use their skills to create positive change.
Information about the causes supported can be found on each product page.
Made by hand
A celebration of genuine craftsmanship. These products are shaped mainly by hand, with care, patience, and intention. They are not mass-produced, but made over time by skilled makers.
Some components may be factory-made, but the final piece is designed, crafted, or assembled by hand, reflecting a deep personal involvement in every detail.
