At Sugartrends we like to define ourselves and our products as “something special”. In fact, by working with local shops, we know that behind each little store there’s a big effort – and we want to show that behind every single product there’s a special story to be shared. Here are my six favourite ones:
My Boo, Kiel, Germany
For every bamboo bike sold, myBoo finances a school scholarship for a child in Ghana. myBoo strongly believes that mixing social and ecological standards is the most successful strategy for every business. ➜ SEE MORE
O My Bag, Amsterdam, Netherlands
O My Bag in Amsterdam only uses leather of cows that die a natural death and have lived in grasslands. The leathers are tanned using natural solutions. A bag that makes the world a little better. Is that possible? We believe it is. ➜ SEE MORE
Guilbert’s Chocolates, Bristol, UK
Guilbert’s Chocolates in Bristol follows the same traditional recipes from 1910. Every piece of chocolate is handmade, rigidly adhering to the techniques that would have been taking place at the rear of the original shop. ➜ SEE MORE
