Okay, let us figure this out: EARLY ONLINE is already one year old? Like 12 months? Like 52 weeks à 7 days and stuff? Seems like nothing. Although, our little baby has already quite grown, hasn't it? :)
We're celebrating a busy and adventurous year with champagne and yummy carrot cupcakes. There's so much more to come.
Thanks to y'all!

Our friend and jetsetter model Charmie hops around the globe and gets down at some exclusive fashion events. Always with her: The 4V BAG as both, handbag and backpack.
Left picture shows Charmie at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, right picture is taken at Audi Fashion Festival in Singapore. Poor thing. Can't you get us at least some of those canapés?
And pls come back soon.
Love,

First, our producer at the manifacture cuts the leather belts into delicate stripes.
After that, we gather our friends for some teatime, cookies, chatting and ...
... weaving. Voilà! Thank you, Vera and Charmie.
One of EARLY's busiest girls: She's an artist, a designer, a thinker and a nerd with style, spirit and temperament. She consults and finds ideas for new products and designs. Plus, she has just discoverd a secret passion for files and runs the office and the stock like a master. Haha.
In this picture she's at her studio wearing the black and white V CLUTCH, which she really loves. She's not the only one, the CLUTCH was sold out within a blink of an eye.
Thanks babe for your great work!

Step by step EARLY conquers Berlin. Happy Shop offers damn cool and international clothing and accessory brands. Harmony collects those treasures that would be really pretty in a light countryhouse.
We're thrilled to work with you guys.

People and media love our summery WHEAT line. It's shining at Glamour Fashionmagazine 11/2012, at Cut Magazin and at Zeit Magazin online 1/2013. Feels a bit like being crowned.
Thanks, you great peeps,

Gosh girl, where are you? In the sky or by the sea or in between? Our friend Julia has captured the amazing view from Montana Roja and sent us the picture. Next to her: the BIG POUCH.
Have fun and, please, don't get dizzy up there.

Heyyya, beautiful Switzerland! From now on, you can find EARLY in some of your shops. The upper row of pictures shows Dottis Vintage that presents itself in Zurich with colorful styles and loads of humor. In the other pic you see Matrix in Basel, an arty design studio and shop.
Grüezi, you very friendly people over there!

Wow, that was one marathon of shooting and preparing. But let us tell you this: If it’s in your heart, it’s always worth it.
EARLY's online shop was about to launch with fresh products from the VINTAGE EDITION and a new model.
Our new EARLY family member Kohrlan smiled like she was lovedrunk. We celebrated the opening and the friendly buzz on fashion blogs and online mags with confetti, ice cream, and champagne.
Thanks for the support!

What a beautiful day! We just met up with Hanibal the fuzzy donkey and had a picknick with cake and juice. My friend Killa is carrying the INK 4V BAG and the WHEATH MOBILE CASE.
Can you smell the flavour of the cut grass?

The last weeks were so busy that I almost forgot to share my pictures from the 100 Yards Blockparty with you. But it was such a great day all in all that I want to keep its memory alive, even if it ended in a bad way for me - my car was broken into!
The funny thing about it is, that the thief stole specifically EARLY products. Unfortunately I had a new 4V Bag in the trunk, which I intended to deliver to a customer the next day. It was gone, as well as my own 4V Bag including a Mini and a Middle Pouch and a Mobile Case, all in a very used condition (apparently still precious). There were three pair of shoes and two nice branded jackets which were spared. (Yes, I have the tendency to turn my trunk into a closet.) At least this someone was nice enough to empty all my pouches, so that I still have my cards, my makeup and most of the other little things we carry in our bags. But the car was such a mess! I didn't want to take a picture and I hope I'll forget quickly about it.
But the Blockparty was incredible! Perfect weather and great music. I can hardly remember an event with as many beautiful people, and I was pleased to see quite a few wearing EARLY hipbags. The Pharcyde and Azari & III totally rocked and Nas just killed it! He played for almost two hours! You could really feel his connection to the crowd. It was so much fun and got even better when it started to rain. It was a very gentle rain that soothed the heat of the day which was still stuck in the 100 yards. Epic!
For all who missed it - check out the 100 yards video recap or the summing up below.
EARLY is spreading the word. Our SLIM HIP BAG is featured at the sustainability magazine Ral6010 made by Frankfurter Rundschau print and online in 07/2012.
Thanks guys!

LAST WEEKEND WAS A BLAST! I SKIPED WORKING AND SPEND TWO WONDERFUL DAYS WITH SOME OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS AT LÜFTEN ARTS AND MUSIK FESTIVAL. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS FESTIVAL TOOK PLACE, AND EVEN IF IT WASN'T AS WELL-VISITED AS IT COULD BE, I CAN ONLY SAY THAT I REALLY LIKE THE CONCEPT AND HOPE THAT IT WILL BE ON AGAIN NEXT YEAR. THE MIXTURE OF DIFFERENT ART TYPES IS INSPIRING AND SEPARATES THIS EVENT FROM BIG COMMERCIAL FESTIVALS.
MY FAVORITE PLACE WAS THE TACO BAR RUN BY SOME GUYS FROM FRANKFURT STÄDEL ART SCHOOL. I LOVED THEIR FOOD AND THE WHOLE SETTING THEY CREATED.
THE CONCERTS OF JAMES BLAKE, DILLON AND ALEX CLARE WERE AMAZING, AND I WAS BLEWN AWAY BY THE PERFORMANCE OF HUDSON MOHAWKE. I HAD NEVER HEARED OF HIM BEFORE BUT HE MADE ME DANCE LIKE THERE WERE NO TOMORROW.
ON THE LAST DAY IT RAINED FOR TWO HOURS, BUT DURING THE FINAL OPEN AIR CONCERT OF MAXIMO PARK A MAGNIFICENT DOUBLE RAINBOW EXPANDED OVER THE STAGE. THERE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN A BETTER ENDING!
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT SUMMER FULL OF RAINBOWS, MUSIC AND LOVE.
