INTRODUCING // OLIVE LEATHER

EARLY, Twenty One Bag, Eco Olive Leather, made in germany, sustainable design, conscious design, eco fashion, wine red, bag

With the certified and recently patented olive-tanning from Wet-Green®, Early now presents a new line of the ECO EDITION, which sets new standardS in terms of ENVIRONMENTAL sustainability. Compared to conventional tanning methods, it cuts down on auxiliary substances such as acids or salts and only uses nature’s pure, renewable products.

The tanning agent is prepared in a similar way to a natural tea extract by only using a by-product of the olive cultivation – the olive leaves. Producing an extract from waste olive leaves, prevents them from being burned and therefore helps to protect the climate. An additional advantage is that this process consumes less water. The result is a biodegradable premium leather with a very pleasant touch and smell.

OUR ITEMS IN BLACK and WINE RED ARE MANUFACTURED WITH olive LEATHER.

EARLY FOR ANNE IMHOF

THE LAST 4 MONTHS HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY AT THE EARLY STUDIO. IN ADDITION TO OUR REGULAR PRODUCTION WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A COLLABORATION WITH OUR FRIEND AND STUDIO NEIGHBOUR, ARTIST ANNE IMHOF.

WE PRODUCED THE WHITE LEATHER PUNCHING BAGS AND MATS WHICH ARE A PART OF HER AMAZING OPERA ANGST. IT'S FIRST PART TOOK PLACE AT ART BASEL THIS YEAR. THE SECOND PART PREMIERS AT SEPTEMBER 14TH AT HAMBURGER BAHNHOF AND RUNS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 25TH. YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY GO AND SEE IT IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!

WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH ANNE AND HER TEAM AND ENJOYED THIS TRIP INTO THE ART WORLD VERY MUCH.

Thinking back I often ask myself how I never doubted that I can work in those dimensions (one punching bag was 4 meters long) and it is nice to remind myself of this when I struggle with creating new bag. Having an art background myself ( I studied art at HFG Offenbach) it was really nice to work for an artist like Anne and to be part of this exciting project.

I worked together with my dear friend Christina Abartzi, who's father used to rent out the exact same floor in the 1980ies with his fur atelier. She spent a lot of time in those rooms during her childhood and working there with me was very special and nostalgic for her.

At that time I was six month pregnant with our daughter Alva and was invited to Vougue Salon in Berlin and offered a free both at Premium all at the same time. Luckly the pregnancy was easy for me and I somehow managed to bring it all together.

LAST WEEKEND WE TRAVELED TO THE SEASIDE TO TAKE PICTURES FOR OUR UPCOMING LOOKBOOK. WE GOT UP VERY EARLY – BUT THE MAGICAL MORNING LIGHT REWARDED US. IT WAS AN AMAZING TRIP, THE PERFECT FUSION OF WORK AND FUN WITH WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND, OF COURSE, OUR FAVORITE DOG: BOSTON TERRIER SHALOUCEE.

SOME OF YOU MIGHT REMEMBER OUR MODELS MALAIKA GIRKE AND NICOLA KRÄMER FROM OUR 2015 LOOKBOOK, AND MARC KRAUSE OUR RESIDENT PHOTOGRAPHER. ALL OF THEM WERE PART OF THE CREW AGAIN THIS YEAR, BUT WE ALSO HAD THE CHANCE TO WORK WITH A NEW FORCE:

FRANZISKA BRODHUN INSPIRED US WITH HER FREE SPIRIT AND HER SUBLIME CHOICE OF CLOTHING. AS A STYLIST SHE MAINLY WORKS WITH VINTAGE CLOTHES AND COMPLETELY SKIPS THE FAST FASHION CHAINS. IT WAS SUCH A PLEASURE TO HAVE HER AROUND BECAUSE SHE REALLY ADDED TO THE GOOD VIBES WITHIN THE TEAM AND TOOK CARE OF US WITH MUSIK AND HOT TEA.

STUDIO OPENING // WELCOME TO STUDIO 4

Dear friends,

we’d like to invite you to our Studio Opening on Saturday May 14^th at Niddastrasse 59, in Frankfurt.

As our new sunny home has a lot of space we decided to share it with Marc Krause, a portrait and fashion photogapher who creates most of EARLY’s visual content and Leonard Kahlcke who designs fine bespoke and made to order shoes. We are very happy about the creative atmosphere happening in the studio.

Celebrate with us from 5pm to 10pm with music, drinks and special offers on all EARLY products.

Our partner Marc Krause is starting a new series of analog black and white pictures representing the world of EARLY called STUDIO VISIT. It would be our pleasure having you as a part of it: If you own an EARLY product already, please bring it along. We would be excited to take your picture and capture your personal style of wearing it.

We are looking forward to seeing you next Saturday!

Love,

EARLY
