INSTAGRAM SALE DEC. 16TH // START 7PM

EARLY STUDIO INSTAGRAM SALE

Dear Friends,

With the holidays around the corner and not being allowed to welcome many people in the studio we decided to do a second Instagram Sale this Wednesday.

You can purchase special colours and styles for a nice price that we usually only sell in stores or directly in the studio. In addition to that there are some seconds for up to 50% off. The sale starts at 7pm via stories on our Instagram account @thisisearly.

All sale products are made from our premium quality, eco-friendly, made in Germany, vegetable tanned leather.

Second pieces have minor flaws that don't affect functionality: 

  • embossing isn't strong enough
  • little scratches or natural marks 
  • variations in leather thickness

How it works:

  • Comment on the picture of the item that you like to buy // First come, fist serve!
  • After we confirm your request pay via Paypal or Instant Bank Transfer and send us your full address for invoice and shipping.

I am very excited about this online event and look forward to getting in touch with you. We'll ship everything directly next day so that it arrives before Christmas. 
It's also possible to pick up your purchase directly in the studio.

As a special treat for you, we randomly pick one customer who will get her/his purchase for free! (Refund via Paypal)

Thank you so much for following our journey!
Happy Holidays!
Valerie

Join us from 3pm on Sunday August 23rd, at the EARLY studio and yard, Burgstraße 70-74, FFM.

We’ve got some special friends coming as well: Eva Kim with a selection of her ceramics; Marc Krause with his tie-dye project “The Future Is Uncertain” and our dear studio neighbour Eva Simin with her beautiful face masks.

We’ve also invited Rachel with the Antipodeon Gelato Bike to bless us with the most delicious ice cream in town and there’ll be a bar with some cool drinks set up.

We’re very excited to have DJanes Keha Sun & Ms. Romanov and Beatris who’ll have lovely tunes going all afternoon long.

We’re super excited and are looking forward to seeing you!

Love

Valerie (EARLY) & Vatsala (Indian Goods Co.)

* * * A special reminder: Due to the current situation, we’re taking extra precautions to ensure your health and safety is well protected. We’ll have plenty of hand sanitiser and kindly ask that you to wear a mask inside the studio and maintain reasonable distance to people you’re not in close contact with on a regular basis.

The studio measures 100sqm and the doors to the yard will be left open for optimal ventilation. We’ll be restricting the number of people inside the studio to 10 at a time.

We hope this means everybody feels safe and can enjoy a wonderful afternoon. * * *

EMBOSSING EDITION LAUNCH EVENT

WITH GREAT JOY I HEREBY INVITE YOU TO THE LAUNCH OF OUR NEW EMBOSSING EDITION.


SAT. NOV. 23ND 4 – 9 PM, EARLY STUDIO, BURGSTR. 70-74, FRANKFURT

EARLY EMBOSSING EDITION LAUNCH EVENT
 
IN 2012 EARLY CAME TO LIFE WITH A COLLECTION OF HIPBAGS AND POUCHES MADE OUT OF A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT EMBOSSED VINTAGE LEATHERS WHICH I FOUND AT A TRADITIONAL WORKSHOP IN A SMALL TOWN NEAR FRANKFURT. WHEN THE TREASURE TROVE OF THIS MESMERIZING MATERIAL WAS COMPLEATELY USED UP I STARTED DREAMING ABOUT MAKING THOSE EMBOSSEMENTS MYSELF, MOSTELY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO EMBOSSED VEGETABLE TANNED LEATHER ON THE MARKET, AND CERTAINLY NOT A MADE IN GERMANY ONE.
I RESEARCHED EMBOSSING COMPANIES AND ONLY FOUND ONE IN GERMANY, BUT THEY DIDN’T HAVE THE RIGHT PATTERNS.
ONE DAY I SPOKE TO ONE OF MY PRODUCERS ABOUT IT AND SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD DONE EMBOSSEMENTS LIKE THIS MANY YEARS AGO AND MIGHT HAVE SOME PATTERNS IN THE BACK OF THEIR GARAGE SOMEWHERE... A FEW WEEKS LATER SHE GAVE ME A BOX WITH SEVERAL PATTERNS, FOR EXAMPLE THE AMAZING RHOMBOID ONE THAT I USED FOR THE CLASSIC HIPBAG YOU SEE IN THE PICTURE ABOVE. I WAS EXTREMLY HAPPY ABOUT THIS DISCOVERY AND THEN TOOK IT A STEP FURTHER BY MAKING A NEW STRIPE PATTERN FROM BRASS BARS WHICH I GLUED TO A STEAL PLATE.

FORTUANTELY THE OLD EMBOSSING MACHINE IS ALSO STILL WORKING AND I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT IT DURING THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. IF YOU LIKE TO SEE HOW THE EMBOSSEMENTS ARE BEING MADE CHECK OUT THE MAKINGSECTION IN OUR INSTAGRAM STORY HIGHLIGHTS. @THISISEARLY

YOU CAN EXCLUSIVELY BUY THOSE EMBOSSING EDITION PIECES AT OUR LAUNCH EVENT OR VIA PERSONAL MESSAGE ON OUR SOCIAL CHANNELS.

SO NOW YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS EDITION MEANS TO ME, AND I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO CELEBRATING IT WITH YOU!
COME AROUND AND ENJOY DRINKS, MUSIC, DISCOUNTS AND A SECONDS SALE (UP TO 50% OFF)!

SOUVENIER SHOP AT LINDLEY HOTEL // SUNDAY AUG. 11TH

 

SOUVENIER SHOP LINDLEY HOTEL

 

Justina Honsel Brand Consulting is pleased to invite you to the souvenir shop in Frankfurt at the beautiful Lindley Hotel.

Connect * Meet lovely People * Awesome Food * Sustainable Brands * Beautiful Location

*11 am - 5 pm Souvenir Shop with different Brands

Same day, same location: 

*9.30 am Connect to inspire Breakfast

*11 am Yoga mit Marleen Haberscheidt from Modern Sangha

Reservation Yoga or/and Breakfast: mail@justinahonsel.de

 

Sonntage sind wunderbare Tage. Vor allem, wenn es tolle Dinge gibt, die man tun kann.

Der “Souvenir Shop”, der am 11. August 2019 im neuen Lindley Hotel stattfindet, ist so etwas. Was sich zunächst nach schnödem Sonntagshopping anhört, ist in Wahrheit ein ganzheitliches tagesfüllendes Wohlfühl-Event, konzipiert und kuratiert von Justina Honsel, die sich mit ihrer Event-Reihe “Ladies, Wine & Design” in Frankfurt längst einen Namen gemacht hat.

Für die Early Birds geht es schon morgens ab 9:30 Uhr los – mit einem ausgewogenen und gesunden Frühstück im Leuchtendroter. Connect to inspire Breakfast heißt die Reihe, dabei geht es darum Menschen in Frankfurt zu vernetzen.

Gestärkt und belebt kann danach entweder gleich zum Stöbern übergegangen oder noch entspannt eine Runde Yoga gemacht werden. Spätestens nach ein paar Asanas sind die Sinne dann geschärft für die wunderbaren Produkte des Souvenir Shop, die alle von Justina persönlich handerlesen wurden. Mit dabei sind Brands wie Nstorejapan, Early, Viola Beuscher Ceramics, Fine Deo, Hanna Marie Gropper Jewlery, Wild im Herzen, the paperbag u.v.m. ...

Alles junge, teils regionale kleine Marken, die großen Wert auf Nachhaltigkeit legen und stolz auf ihre Handarbeit sind. Von Schmuck über Keramik und Kosmetik bis hin zu hochwertigen Lederaccessoires ist hier für jeden etwas dabei.

Nicht unerwähnt bleiben darf an dieser Stelle, dass Justina Honsels Veranstaltungen alle ein maßgebliches Ziel verfolgen: das Networking und den Austausch untereinander. Damit sind sowohl die jungen Brands gemeint, die sich gegenseitig kennenlernen, inspirieren und vernetzen sollen, aber auch die Besucher, die sensibilisiert werden sollen für Nachhaltigkeit und bewussten Konsum. Und natürlich geht es darum, einen entschleunigten Sonntag in einer schönen Location mit vielen tollen Menschen und kleinen Highlights zu erleben.
