Carsten and Lenka Rundholz are calm but thoughtful designers. While other couples were chatting in cafes, they were planning their first collection. They didn't just want to wear distinctive clothes; they also wanted to share their creative ideas and make a lifestyle brand. Lenka Rundholz started as a display artist and always had an eye for fashion. It was a challenge for Carsten, as a former graphic designer, he was trained in the art of fashion through its design and wanted to create a look his wife would love to wear.

Every single design is developed in the Lower Rhine area. Only an hour away from major cities like Duesseldorf or Cologne, this area is characterized by small rivers and old trees, tiny fortresses, and huge old farm buildings. Lenka and Carsten Rundholz carefully rebuilt an ancient regional farm, originally rebuilt in 1811, into a modern headquarters - their creative island hidden behind high hedges and old willows. They make around 600 pieces a year, including coats, blouses, dresses, shoes, bags, and belts. Lenka Rundholz explains, "Our pattern makers are often astonished by the result of Carsten's sewing experiments. They need to rip the seams on everything to understand his patterns. But before conquering the runway, all outfits have to pass the most crucial test. 'Nothing will be put into the collection before Lenka gives her approval,' " Carsten Rundholz says.
