UlStO

UlStO stands for Scandinavian, sustainable design “Made in Germany” . Ulrike, the founder of the label - an engineer from Dresden - dedicated herself entirely to her passion after completing her studies in 2016 and founded the label UlStO. The aim was to produce fairly and sustainably manufactured bags and accessories . Ulrike came up with the idea during the semester break. As a balance and creative distraction from her less-than-creative studies, she started sewing. “Cork to Carry” is the motto with which Ulrike produces bags made of cork and felt and wants to give the dusty “eco” image a new shine. Her hobby became a profession and she has now opened her own showroom in Neustadt. She is particularly proud of her sustainable and regional production, as well as her collaboration with local seamstresses and photographers. The vegan bags are purist and simple, yet still eye-catching.

UlStO products made of cork in detail

Cork is a renewable raw material and is obtained from the bark of the cork oak. Because no trees have to be felled, cork leather is a perfect and, above all, environmentally friendly alternative to animal leather. UlStO not only relies on CO2-saving production for its bags and backpacks, but also presents a stylish companion for men and women with its water -repellent and flexible cork bags . In addition to cork, the bags are made of fairly produced organic cotton canvas as the inner and outer material. The puristic and straightforward design , combined with its feel, radiates well-being and strength. Cork is a durable and sustainable material and gives bags and accessories that certain extra something. Vegan bags without animal ingredients using materials from the EU.
