Souleway
Inspired by the buzz of big-city living, urban travel brand Souleway creates resistant and sustainable accessories made by hand in Germany. The functional, timeless range offers handbags and backpacks as well as weekenders and beach bags.
“We believe that high quality and clean design have to go hand in hand to inspire people.”
Founders
Hagen Streit and Flemming Kühl crafted the brand from a love for fashion and e-commerce.
Materials
An innovative vegan leather made from olives is used in Souleway's vegan range, as well as organic cotton. Materials are sourced from Turkey, Germany, and Portugal.
Production
Manufacturing takes place locally in Hamburg, Germany. The company is working on obtaining further transparency in their supply chain.
People
The founders visit the manufacturers several times per week to ensure compliance with local laws. All workers are paid a national living wage.
Animals
Souleway produces a vegan range which is approved by PETA.
Charity Donations
Souleway regularly donates to charity – the brand has made donations to war victims in Ukraine, as well as those affected by earthquakes in Turkey. Annually, a part of proceeds goes to Drip by Drip, an organisation dedicated to addressing the issue of wastewater in the fashion industry.
Packaging
Souleway's products are packed in a recycled, recyclable bag and sent out to the customer in a parcel made from recycled, FSC-certified paper.
