Featured shop in 'We Love You' is Eo! in Luxembourg. (2011#3)



Tell us about the location where Eo! is located?
EO! Kids Fashion is located in the heart of Dudelange. Just a few meters away from the city hall, church and a beautiful park with huge playgrounds for children.
We opened our unique store in the commercial centre of the city next to other stores, cafés and restaurants. There we will also be a new web presence soon, as we will launch our new web shop at www.eo-kidsfashion.lu.

How come you decided to start a shop?
Jeannine is a mother of a beautiful young princess and not liking what she had been seeing in the stores (always the same collections, mini adults, a.s.o.), she decided to open a new shop with a new concept. Jeannine told her best friend Joëlle about her idea and without hesitating, Joëlle showed interest and enthusiasm and offered to start the adventure together. “The clothes and accessories that we would sell, had to be more colourful and more environmental friendly. We were convinced that the people here in Luxembourg would adopt our ideas and taste for this new concept, and THEY DID!

Tell us a bit about yourself.
We are Jeannine and Joëlle. As we were kids, we always wanted to be independent later on and at that time, one of our dreams was to open a café together. Well, we’ve grown up and our needs have changed. ;o)
I, Jeannine, am mother and an “Export Handling Agent”; Joëlle is an educator in a home for disabled people. We are both young and motivated business women, who want to bring some freshness and colour into the hackneyed kids’ fashion in Luxembourg. We want to prove that “ecological clothes” can be fun, colourful and stylish, too. DUNS Sweden is the perfect match!

What does the customers say about DUNS Sweden?
Our costumers “love” DUNS Sweden! A lot of them were more than happy when we opened. A lot of them used to buy their clothes abroad or on the internet and are really happy that we’ve opened the first shop here in Luxembourg. We can’t complain, the enthusiasm for our brands and success is bigger than we thought in the first place!

Featured shop in 'We Love You' is Uni in Sweden. (2011#2)



Tell us about the location where Uni is located?
We have three stores in Sweden. Two in Stockholm placed centrally and on streets that have cafe´s and playgroundparks around the corner. We also and have a wonderful shop in Linköping. And a webbshop! You can look in at www.unibarn.se to see the webbshop and learn more about us.

How come you decided to start a shop?
We saw the need for childrens clothes that allowed children to play and have fun and NOT look like small adults. And also we don´t divide the clothes into "boy´s" and "girl´s". Our shop is totally UNISEX, hence the name. We are very much into organic thinking and natural products because we really think there is a need and demand for it.

Tell us a bit about yourself.

We are Linda Glad and Sara Skogsmark. Sara is a mother of three and it was when her oldest son was born that the idea with UNI started to grow. The first shop opened in 2005.

What does the customers say about DUNS Sweden?
They are usually exited about the colors and prints and the fact that these colors and wonderful prints are made in a good production is very appreciated. Also DUNS Sweden is known for good quality witch for us puts that extra dimension on organic garments; you can use the clothes for a long time.

Featured shop in 'We Love You' is Små in Germany. (2011#1)



Tell us about the location where Små is located?
SMÅ is located in Charlottenburg, Berlin, in a shopping street in an exclusive residential area with walking distance to S-bahn (S Charlottenburg) and  U-bahn (Wilmersdorferstrasse).  It is a good location with lots of people walking by every day. www.smakinder.de

How come you decided to start a shop?
I was on maternity leave from my work as a lawyer in Stockholm when my husband got the opportunity to start working in Berlin. After almost three years in Berlin, my twin boys turned 3 and I wanted to start working, I found an ad looking for someone that wanted to rent a part of an existing shop. During my two years in Berlin I always found it hard to find nice clothes for my children and since many Germans like Swedish products I thought it would be a good idea to introduce Swedish children's wear to them.

Tell us a bit about yourself.

I am a lawyer with no earlier experience from retail and I find it really exciting to start up something that is totally new for me. As a mother of two small boys of course I have also a big interest in children´s wear, so the choice to start selling that was natural.

What does the customers say about DUNS Sweden?
The children´s wear in the part of Berlin where I live and the store is situated, is often rather dark, grey and without any patterns. Start selling the colorful DUNS Sweden was exciting, I had no idea what the customers would think. But almost all customers find the garments fun and refreshing, and that is is something different. They also enjoy the organic cotton.

Featured shop in 'We Love You' is Jättefint in Germany. (2010#4)



Tell us about the location where Jättefint is located?
JÄTTEFINT is a lifestyle shop with exclusive products solely from Scandinavia. The shop is located in a trendy district of West Cologne called Sülz, where mainly young people and families live. Actually this it is the part of Cologne where the most families per square meter are living! In the summertime and in late autumn you can sit outside in one of the many nice cafés and restaurants. The quarter has many nice small shops and the atmosphere is very open-minded, lively and familiar. Many people pass by every day, the tram also stops directly in front of my shop.

How come you decided to start a shop?
Last year as I visited Göteborg I occasionally passed by the DUNS-shop at Prinsgatan, and started to talk to Christin. The colourful and playful designs of DUNS were like a magnet to me, I couldn’t get the clothes out of my head. So I decided that now it’s time to take the great clothes to Cologne and open up a Scandinavian shop. Thank you Christin for the inspiration! The idea of opening up a shop has been a dream for many years, we always used to buy children clothes and Scandinavian products back home in Finland and over the years many German friends have asked, why they couldn’t find these nice things here in Cologne. I’m so happy with my own little Scandinavian paradise here in Germany, JÄTTEFINT is like being home in Scandinavia!

Tell us a bit about yourself.

I’m Finnish, and I belong to the minority in Finland with Swedish as mother tongue. I have been living in Cologne for twelve years. My husband is German and we have a seven-year-old daughter. I have a degree as Master of French and Finnish. I have always loved colourful designs and clothes, as I was studying French I spent two years in Paris, and studied at ESMOD, an international fashion and stylist school. Later I worked in the publishing business for almost ten years, first in an international publishing house in Cologne and then with my own translation agency BOKIRJA as a book producer. I still run this company but I felt like missing something. Now the puzzle finally is completed with JÄTTEFINT. Jättefint is Swedish and means “Very nice” or “Really great”. My goal is that the customers who enter my shop should look at everything and say “Superschön” in German, or even better “Jättefint” in Swedish! On the Internet you can read more about JÄTTEFINT: www.jaettefint.de

What does the customers say about DUNS Sweden?
Some ask, if the garment is meant to be a pyjama. In Germany it’s not so usual to wear this kind of clothes. Luckily there are many, who think the clothes are really great and they find the playful prints new and refreshing. Only three weeks after the opening I already have customers coming in again, to buy more DUNS Sweden-clothes. The customers appreciate the high quality and the organic cotton! DUNS Sweden are “Gute-Laune-Kleidung”, when you wear it, you will get in a good mood, and this is the greatest thing about DUNS Sweden!

Featured shop in 'We Love You' is Ellen & Elvira in Finland. (2010#3)



Tell us about the location where Ellen & Elvira is located?
The Ellen & Elvira shop is situated in Vasa city center, one block from the square. We chosed this spot since we find the walking distance from the square is very important. Also very convenient for customers coming by car. There are parking space right outside the shop (free of charge at closing time everyday...)

How come you decided to start a shop?
The idea to open a shop sprung from a discussion between me and two friends. They both
were very bored on their jobs and my maternity leave was about to end. One of these
friends and myself started the shop but after a short while my friend had to leave and I
decided to continue the business on my own. I haven't regretted that one second.

When we started the shop we were the first to be able to offer organic children's wear.
Since then the assortment has grown to include children's books (from Sweden) and a lot
of other stuff.


Tell us a bit about yourself.

I consider myself to be a positive, outgoing and ambitious single mother of two. I have a
degree as Bachelor of Commerce, concentrating in foreign business. I have run my own business since 1993 and have always kept myself busy with different ideas. With the shop
I feel that I can combine all my interests.

What does the customers say about DUNS Sweden?
Duns Sweden is a success here and around Vasa. Before you could only find DUNS Sweden
on the Internet. Although I buy a lot of DUNS Sweden garments to the shop I still could buy
a lot more. A lot of customers find the colours really uplifting and also enjoy the organic
cotton! A funny story from this summer was that a lot of Swedish tourists bought DUNS Sweden in the shop and consequently brought the garments back to Sweden...

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 things
J), 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.
