Spring is in the Air
THE FIRST RAYS OF SUNSHINE BECKON US OUTSIDE. OUTFITTED WITH A LIGHT FLUTTERING COAT AND POUCH BAG, A LITTLE RAIN SHOWER WON’T DO US ANY HARM.
123-10 Coat “Delia”
Cut in a wide and airy way with a practical twoway zip, this coat is a loyal companion for many occasions. The coloured accentuation of the drawstring sets the fashionable touch here.
123-11 Handbag “Tony”
The spacious bag in a crinkled look gets by with just a few ingredients. The coated material is easy to clean and the two handle ends are simply knotted together.
Sporty
THE TRENDY CASUAL LOOK APPEALS TO MANY BECAUSE IT IS SO COMFORTABLE. HOWEVER, BOTH PIECES CAN BE COMBINED IN DIFFERENT WAYS IF YOU WANT SOMETHING A LITTLE LESS CASUAL.
123-12 Sweater jacket “Sarina”
The boxy jacket with fashionable eyelet details on the hood is perfect for whipping over. The large patch pockets offer plenty of space to store all your essentials.
123-13 Cargo pants “Celine”
Cargo trousers are back – both in a classic look as well as in elegant new variations. Our design is made from airy linen fabric with a practical adjustable belt.

CLEAN ELEGANCE
THE MINIMALISM TREND IS BACK AND IN VOGUE THIS SPRING – ALSO FOR MEN.
123-30 Jacket “Timo”
The jacket convinces with a simple design made of sustainable linen. The reduction to the most essential is reflected both in cut and colour. A practical companion when a shirt alone would still not be warm enough.

Beastly
THIS SPRING WILL BE WILD; WITH BUTTERFLIES AND ZEBRAS BUSTLING THROUGH THE FASHION KIDS’ WARDROBES!
123-35
Dress “Elina”
Elina is a cosy shirt dress made of cotton jersey, perfect for romping around. And the patch pocket is ideal for collecting small treasures.
123-36 Slip-on jacket “Zaza”
The light slip-on jacket is quick to put on while looking casual as well. It is equally suitable for boys and girls. The hood protects against wind, and the zebra is sure to become a favourite.

Heralds of Spring
FRESH GLAMOUR FOR THE EASTER TABLE. WE DECORATE IN SUBTLE COLOURS WITH ‘FRESH’ FLOWERS TO WELCOME SPRING!
123-40
Egg warmers
A quick “In the Hoop” project. The cute felt bunnies keep the breakfast eggs warm, but they also work as a decorative element – gladly in multiples.
123-41 Tulips
The first early blossoms whet the appetite for the coming bright days. When sewn, they stay fresh forever and you can choose the colours to your heart’s delight.
123-42 Lantern covers
With CutWork or decorative stitches we greet spring on our table with stylish lantern covers. The lettering in the felt lets the candlelight shine out.
