We found out about the folks from Orontas when we were looking for a natural solution to get our bikes ready for the summer. The non-toxic and fully biodegradable Bicycle Cleaner and the petroleum-free Bike Lubricant are the perfect solution to get your bike pimped and maintained in an ecological responsible way.

Their Manifesto says it all: they are a pretty awesome company with values we agree upon a 100% and we're proud to welcome them in our shop!

Keep cycling and if you'd like to learn more about Orontas and their passion about Bike Polo check out their blog.

First weekend by the beach: me, my Feelgoodz, tons of beach toys and three little kids! Oh, and of course tons of sand. Half an hour past and my Feelgoodz were gone, buried under a huge pile of sand! Next to it a suspicious looking 5-year-old with a shovel. Well, worst case scenario, since Feelgoodz are made of all natural rubber and 100% biodegradable, they would have just turned into sand themselves after a while. But luckily i got them back eventually, after digging a four-feet-hole into the ground! (I am still wondering how this little dude was able to bury my Flops that deep under the sand).

They are definitely the most comfortable and durable pair of Flops I've worn to date. Feelgoodz are dyed with mercury free ink and the highly-compressed rubber is super soft, so you feel like walking on pillows. The straps of the Flops will stretch out after a little while to ensure perfect fit and to prevent blisters.

We are super proud to welcome Feelgoodz to the Holstee Shop and if you want to learn more about Kyle, Founder of Feelgoodz, the Feelgoodz story and the mission behind it, click here or watch the videos! 

Keep on steppin' easy and feelin' good!

Last week I received this beautiful Organic Cotton Dress by One Mango Tree and it is perfect! The dress is made of 100% Organic Cotton Jersey and I love everything about it. The beautiful simple cut is super comfy and exactly how I would design a dress myself. The fabric feels light and soft on your skin and over the last week I have worn it out to party, to the park and the length makes it even wearable for biking. One Mango Tree is a truly family run business and works with artisans in Uganda. I love that each dress has a little tag, which shows you the name of the artisan, that made yours. We are so proud to work with One Mango Tree and Holstee truly supports their mission: economic empowerment to provide the foundation necessary for achieving peace and sustainable development! Meet the beautiful ladies from One Mango Tree and watch the video to learn more about their work! 

So I've been looking for a smart, good looking solution to carry my water around. Something that will help me reduce the plasitc used in my life and save me money in the long term. Well, I'm excited to say, I've found that and a whole lot more.

Most people are probably looking forward for the winter to be over! We are not; winter means a great time for cool hats like Emilime's Reversible Hat made of 100% Alpaca wool. This hat just looks so damn good on both men and women and keeps you insulated and warm.

Alpaca fiber is warmer than sheep wool and super soft. Most people allergic to wool are allergic to the lanolin in sheep’s wool. Alpaca wool contains no lanolin, which makes it hypoallergenic.

Emilime provides beautiful, natural products to everyone who can appreciate it and directly supports the artisans of Peru. Each hat is handcrafted by the Peruvian woman working with Emilime. The women are able to integrate the knitting into their daily lives and happily increase their family’s income.

For example, there's Angela who knits while watching her daughter, or Franci, who knits every night after closing her fruit stand. We are truly inspired by Emily (Emilime's founder) for her dedication to transparency in her production.

Emilime’s Reversible Hat is available in the Holstee shop in grey/black and navy/khaki. You can either wear it as an oversized beanie (the favored rockstar style) or you can roll up the edge and show the inside color as an accent to the outside color.

Whatever you prefer, it’s an awesome product with a good cause and we’re proud to curate this product in the Holstee shop!

We have a special place in our hearts for designers who are able to use existing materials and efficiently turn them into beautiful, high quality products.  Our latest curation, the Feuerwear belt, exemplifies this. The founding brothers, Martin and Robert Klüsener, experimented with with jute bags and canvas sails until they produced products like this belt from the plentiful, durable unique fire hose they found no longer being used.

Most importantly, not only does Feuerwear make exceptional products, but we can confirm that  the brothers, behind this great company are super cool and among the most collaborative designers we've curated so far.  Yes, we are hoping to be like them when we grow up. You can learn more about their approach to sustainability and the brothers on their site. The belts are available in 3 colors and are designed for individuals to customize the length.
