		<description><![CDATA[We‘re constantly thinking about how to turn used things into something new.
In particular as a skateboard company we use plenty of boards, which are, if you think about it, too precious to just be trashed. 
So why not recycle them, instead of filling the shoes of our throwaway society?
This time the reincarnation comes in the form of a sustainable and beautiful way to hang up your clothes.
Manually sawn out, smoothed and finally silk screened, these hangers for sure took a lot of time and effort to make. But as each one of them is one of a kind we think it was all worth it.
The hangers come with two different prints for you to choose.

		<description><![CDATA[Kikoys have been worn for generations throughout east Africa. They were traditionally worn by Swahili speaking sailors, fishing on the Indian Ocean. Now they are being used for a myriad of different purposes. Each kikoy is a brilliantly colored, fringed piece of fabric that you will enjoy for many years. Kikoys get stronger and softer with each washing.
Our kikoys come directly from Kenya where they are woven and hand knotted by Kenyan women who are the sole supporters for their families.
This Kikoy is created in Kenya with 100% combed Kenyan cotton. The edge fringe is hand knotted to give you a quality Kikoy cloth.
size: 100cmX 160

		<description><![CDATA[„Beer is the proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy“ as Benjamin Franklin once put it. Well, what more to add? 
To celebrate the existence of this outstanding brew, we thought we could dress it up in a nice robe. Our take on the classic beer mug comes with a silk screened, dishwasher proof print and although the graphic says “0,5l“, it only carries 0,4.

Fill it up with water, hops and malt, put it on the provided beer coaster and have a good one. 

Cheers!

		<description><![CDATA[No day is so bad it can‘t be fixed with a nap, right? As a good pillow can somehow be considered your ticket to sleep, we thought we‘d offer you a long term admission.
Falling back to mouldy but warming hippie aesthetics and made out of tie dyed, this cozy little pillow is the perfect antidote to dark days and winter blues.

So take your time to lay your head down low every now and then, as a good sleep and a good laugh are still known to be the best cures in the doctor‘s book.

		<description><![CDATA[You can‘t go wrong with a simple dark blue crew neck sweater. But you can go even better with a 100% environment friendly one.

This Ultra-soft and beautifully constructed sweatshirt has been made by „Trikotwarenfabrik Gebrüder Mayer“, better known as Trigema, which is the last german sportswear manufacturer to entirely produce in Germany, using „Trigema Change“ garments. These are optimised according to the cradle to cradle concept, which means that on the outcome there are eco-effective products. On the one hand these are fully recyclable. When they reach the end of their lives they can be fully reinserted into the nutrien cycle. They simply never turn into sheer waste. On the other hand neither their manufacturing nor the products themselves create any toxic substances. The raw materials as much as the final pieces of clothing have been produced in an ecologically safe manner.
Furthermore they are of particularly high quality. So they last long, but just not longer than they are really used.
Long story short it‘s an all around good product – fair and locally produced in Germany.

It comes with a small front and back print plus silk screened elbow patches, which have been sewn on by our friends at Common Works from Neukölln, Berlin, Germany.

		<description><![CDATA[Frankly, it just sucks to have too many things on you when you leave the house. Keys in one pocket, a stodged wallet in another. And let‘s not even talk about your precious smartphone. This is true in particular when going out for a skate session. We think everybody who‘s ever gone out skating from spot to spot knows what we‘re talking about.
Well, this wallet will put things right for you. 
Made out of special brushed vintage leather by Jörg Wlotzka from leather manufacturer papoutsi!, the wallet features a strap for your keys along with various silk screened prints. 
Since early 2010, Wlotzka‘s company is the successor to Berlin‘s traditional leather goods manufacturer Fridolin Ehrenfriedt in producing first-class leather wares. 

So wrap up your keys in this fine piece of craftsmanship, throw in some coins and go out and hit the concrete jungle. Or the party. Or whatever you feel like.

		<description><![CDATA[Today we have a good old bandana for you, the classic piece for all the freebirds and easy riders out there. Made out of organic cotton straight from a garment market in Neukölln, soaked in organic dye and finally sewn together by hand, these babies will keep your throat warm in cold winters. And even in warmer times, the design inspired by arabian ornaments and classic skateboarding graphics from the 80‘s, is sure to catch an eye. 
Simply a great looking square of cotton.

Enjoy!
Special thanks goes out to the best supporter and girl friend Tina for taking care of.

		<description><![CDATA[The belt holds your pants in place, but it‘s the loops on them that hold the belt in place. So which one is the real deal here? In our book it‘s no brainer: the belt! Simply because it has way more soul. 
Think about it for a minute, you usually wear a leather belt for ages and as time goes by it just gains more character. You could say it gets soaked up with all the experiences you‘ve made with it.
So of course our take on the belt is made to last. Once more manufactured out of vintage brushed leather by Jörg Wlotzka from papoutsi!, equipped with a hand forged belt buckle made by the metalworker around the corner and rounded off with a silk screened print on the inside, this belt is a prime example of what this whole series is about – a close collaboration between design and authentic craftsmanship. 
The “X“ out of red threat on the back side is there to underline that.
The belt comes packed in a recycled wooden tea box.
Length: 115 cm
Height: 3 cm (not to thick, comfortable while doing flip tricks)

		<description><![CDATA[If you think about a notebook nowadays the first thing to come to your mind is the electronic device, mostly with an apple on it. But there still are the old fashioned ones, with blank pages, ready to remember anything for you. Is it your dreams, chords and lyrics of a song, a quote or things like to-do and shopping lists. There‘s room for everything. And just think about all the washed up ideas, great stupid thoughts and whatever else that you‘ve forgotten just because you didn‘t write them down just in the moment.

Out take on the notebook has been made by a Berlin-based bookbinder and and comes in a classy skateboarding-based sleeve. It has a total of pages and every now and then as a surprise, there is a page designed by us.

So all you need is a pen and and this notebook in your pocket to write down everything that somehow catches your attention. When looking back into it after a while, a notebook is pretty much what a popular social networking platform is trying to be – a magical retrospect to the time you‘ve used it. Every note has it‘s story to tell.

		<description><![CDATA[People throw away too much, you don‘t need to be a branbox to notice. Although that habit is in no way positive, it also implies many possibilities. As we at Love Me like to think that every product is a readymade in it‘s own way, we like to pick up things to creatively push them into a new direction.
This backpack is one these cases. When this old swedish military backpack fell to our hands, we took it and refashioned it to become an even more useful little helper to your everyday life. As with all military garments the quality itself is out of question, but we added a handmade and silk screen printed extra bag to create a divided interior, that perfectly suits a laptop, while leaving enough space for your other belongings.
Rounded up with a logo patch and silk screen prints on the outside, this makes a functional and good looking bag for all situations, which still carries the perfect imperfection of the handmade.
Oh, and you might have noticed the metal and leather supporting frame that looks like an instrument of torture from the spanish inquistion. You can set your mind at rest, folks. It is acctually way more comfortable than it looks. It adjusts to your back just perfectly, taking weight off of your shoulders, which makes it a comfy companion while skateboarding, riding a bike, hiking or just on your way to work. Or whatever else you feel like.

		<description><![CDATA[When your breadknife hasn’t got the bite and your saw lacks teeth.            
An axe is a symbol of the simple life - man as creator, builder, hunter.         
You may be chained to the city, bruised on the pavements but there will come a time in your life when you’ll need an axe. Give up on that idea and give up on one of the great pleasures of life, because man has forgotten the satisfaction of working with their hands - forgotten how to make things to be proud of instead of buying electrical gadgets which last a year. When did you last fell a tree? When did you last take out an obstacle, rather than take a detour?
This is not a decorative item. You can leave it locked in its box, under the bed or on a wall above your desk, but this is made to be used. Hand-forged by one of the oldest blacksmiths in Berlin, you will have this axe for life. And when you start chopping or building, demolishing or cutting, you can depend upon this versatile axe for intricate work as well as full-on power.
The shape and design of the Axe is based on the French Biscay Axe, elegant and shapely this is an icon in tool design. A top choice for adventurers, foresters, environmentalists, artists and explorers the world over.
Each Love Me axe is embossed and fitted with a robust handle which provides great control when using two hands.

		<description><![CDATA[We‘ve been talking about readymades the other day. As we are skateboarders, the board itself is of particular interest to us if it‘s about refashioning used things into something new.
You ride and then dump so many of them, that it is a sheer waste of wood if you think about it. And all that although a skateboard is a pretty interesting piece of wood to work with to say the least. The seven, differently coloured layers give it a beautiful texture, which you can use in numerous ways, while at least in our case the wood itself remains resistant.
So today we have an prime example for the creative use of skateboards for you, a pair of handmade glasses, made by Love Me Collective member Tobias Thomas. Coming from a family of opticians, Tobias has leared this artisanry from the scratch and has been making these recycled glasses for a while now. They‘re just getting better and better.
It‘s prior understatement to say that there‘s a lot of work behind these glasses. The pieces are sawn out of a used board by hand, then cooked to form them into shape, polished and finally assembled to precision. And on the other end of this process there are these beautiful glasses. Each pair is one of a kind, there will never be another one which is exactly the same. 
There is some kind of magic to every one of them. To know that you are wearing glasses that have been grinding ledges, jumping stairs and cruising the streets for weeks is just stunning. They come with a history of themselves. Blood, sweat and tears. Friendship, sun and joy. A truly original piece.
