Featured shop in 'We Love You' is Knotsknetter
in Netherlands. (2010#2)
Tell
us about the location where Knotsknetter is located?
Knotsknetter is located on the
World Wide Web, but my working place is
Amsterdam.
For how long have you've had the shop?
For
almost 4 years now.
How come you decided to start a shop?
As a
busy mom with a patchwork family, I decided to make my own living at
home.
Another reason was that I couldn’t stop collecting beautiful fabrics,
mostly retro from the seventies. All that fabrics turned into a big pile
in my house and I had to do something with it!
I started making dresses, skirts, bibs, bags etc. and found out people
loved it and wanted to buy my creations. The shop turned out to be
successful and now I ‘m looking for beautiful brands to extend my
supplies.
I already found DUNS Sweden!
Tell us a bit about yourself.
As I mentioned, I’m a busy mom of three children, aged between 9 and 19.
I studied handicrafts in the past (and, to be honest, lots of other
thingsJ),
and finally found out what makes me happy, namely to create and sell
beautiful products for children.
What does the customers say about DUNS Sweden?
My customers immediately fell in love with DUNS Sweden, just like I did.
They love the bright colors and joyful designs, the soft and comfortable
fabrics, just like I expected.
So
everybody’s happy now!

Featured shop in 'We Love You' is Lutterlagkage
in Sweden/Denmark. (2010#1)
Tell
us about the location where Lutterlagkage is located?
Though
of Danish origin, the lutterlagkage showroom/boutique is located in
beautiful “Gamla Väster”
in Malmö. Tucked away in one of the narrow
old cobblestone streets but very close to Lilla
Torg, the Central Station and the city
centre I have my bright shop where I create clothes and accessories for
my own label,
www.lutterlagkage.dk
and sell and showcase clothing and accessories from other beautiful
brands such as DUNS Sweden.
For how long have you've had the shop?
I have been on the internet with my webshop
www.lutterlagkage.dk for about 5 years
now. It was only after I moved from Denmark to Malmö, Sweden that I had
a chance to open a brick-and-mortar shop. When I stumbled upon this shop
for rent I fell in love immediately! After having restored and
redecorated the shop I opened in September. My main focus is still the
webshop so I have only one day open a week; I’m always here on Thursdays
from 11-16. The shop is also open when something creative is going on at
the studio – which happens a lot :)
How come you decided to start a shop?
I wanted to have a place where I could put all the beautiful things I
sell at the webshop on display so I could enjoy them more, sell more and
create more! It makes me so happy to open the door and enter the shop.
All the vibrant colours and the ambience is so inspiring. I also wanted
to share my little universe with my customers in a more direct way than
on the internet.
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I am a 38-year old mother of two, ex-teacher, lifelong creative. I love
colour and I am focused on sustainability and quality– which is why I
adore DUNS Sweden. I have always dreamed of making something creative my
career. In other words; I try to live the dream!
What does the customers say about DUNS Sweden?
The bold prints and colours strike a cord in people. The design with
it’s clear references to the seventies make you remember a time less
complicated. When people realize it’s organic it’s only a bonus. I try
to encourage mismatching and mixing the prints. That’s a lot of fun!

How come you decided to start a shop?
I sell in my shop new clothes and accessories and also used clothes and
accessories.
Recycling is a way of life to me and so recycling of clothes is really
close to my heart. The idea of my shop is to sell really good
conditioned used clothes and accessories (toys etc.). I feel that
DUNS-clothes and philosophy works really good with my own and colours
and graphics of clothes fit in to my store perfectly. There really was a
demand in my town for these kind of operation so now I got to do what
i've always have wanted: to keep my own store!

I'm just little over 30, wife and a mother of two daughters (4 and 2
years) I'm really just beginner of this business, my "real" occupation
is a nurse. I'm trying to do things as good as I can and I believe it
will bear a fruit. Family and friends are the most important things in
my life! I try to live my life so that me myself and everyone around are
feeling good. I'm positive and happy in my nature and I think that it
shows on the overall look of my shop also. (And I think that it is also
the reason why I like Duns so much!)
What do the customers say about DUNS Sweden?
DUNS clothes have had great reception on my shop and I also love them
myself! Also my two daughters have fallen in love with DUNS! Biggest
reason why people like DUNS is the colours and really nice prints.
Quality of clothes is also really good. Many people like the ideaology
of DUNS also. I often hear parents say to their children "We have to get
that shirt to you, I had almost similar myself when I was at your age!".
Those nice colours and fresh prints also get the attention of many
children. Many children has fallen so much in love with their new DUNS
that they have insisted their parent to buy them another one.

Featured shop in 'We Love You' is Russinet
in Sweden. (2009#2)
Tell us about the location where Russinet is located?
The "brick and mortar" location of the Russinet shop is situated at the
heart of Sundyberg, just to the north of Stockholm, Sweden. The physical
shop is located just by the T/subway station so it is in a very high
traffic location. Many people pass by every day. There are a number of
large companies located just around the corner, so the shop is always
crowded during their employees´ lunch hours.
 For
how long have you had the shop/web shop?
My web shop relaunched under the name
www.russinet.se in the year 2006. Due to very high demand and
frequent requests, the shop in Sundyberg opened in the fall of 2007.
How come you decided to start a shop/web shop?
I created a Swedish clothing line earlier on my own. I actually started
out selling my own designs. It soon became apparent, however, that
Internet-based shopping was going to be the wave of the future. The
physical location has continued to grow and today I stock only other's
quality brands rather than my own, along with toys and interior design
pieces.
Tell us a bit about yourself?
I'm a busy mother of three. I was born in 1970 in Sweden. I love color
and simply adore retro design. I consider myself a self-made
businesswoman and definitely plead guilty to being a workaholic!
What do the customers say about DUNS Sweden?
Most people comment on how DUNS' designs and prints are truly "unisex".
Also, the happy and vibrant colours definitely seem to attract my
customers. They are simply eye catching! What truly amazes so many
people is that the clothing is actually Eco-friendly.

Featured shop in 'We Love You' is Dollyrocker und Konsorten
in Germany. (2009#1)
 Tell
us about the location where Dollyrocker und Konsorten is located?
We are located in Berlin Friedrichshain, which is a young
and trendy district of East Berlin whith a colourful mixture of
students, families, individualists and travellers from all over the
world.
For how long have you've had the shop?
Almost seven years
How come you decided to start a shop?
As beeing mothers with a fashion design degree the idea of creating
kids clothes was not far away. That is how Dollyrocker was born.
Dollyrocker –that’s little daisy to cheeky monkey originals for children
from
0 – 7, lovingly hand-crafted by the designers Gabi Hartkopp and Ina
Langenbruch.
We started our cosy shop/workspace in 2003, where we recycle handpicked
and top quality textiles, using high natural fibre content stretch
materials for maximum comfort. Each DOLLYROCKER piece is unique and has
its own story to tell.
Of equal importance as the creative method is the ecological standpoint.
We make recycled fashion from the view that there is a plentiful supply
of material to fall back on. Furthermore,
in most recycled fabrics, residues of dyes or chemical treatments to
which children are especially sensitive have been all but washed out.
In 2008 our "new baby", und Konsorten, was born. We expanded our shop
with a carefully chosen mix of kids fashion ans accessories brands who
produce fair and environmentally friendly.
Tell us a bit about yourself
As mentioned above we are both mothers of four daughters aged betwen 2
and 20 years. We both studied fashion design here in Friedrichshain and
that is how we got to know each other and where the idea of our shop was
born...
What does the customers say about DUNS Sweden?
DUNS Sweden became one of our favourites soon, cause it matches with our
shop philosophy very well and of cause our customers love it. Just like
our own designs it gives kids enough room to be child and brightens
rainy days with its happy colours and prints.
