The label jodii was created in summer 2008 and offers you a wide rage of handmade goods in timeless and colourful designs. Besides hand-embroidered patterns on cushions you find great hand-printed textiles like shopping and laundry bags, aprons, towels, tablecloths, napkins, bed linen and cushions.
The materials have first-class quality. The linen, threads and paints are all made in Germany. I am always looking for some new and better products. In some cases I also use vintage materials, especially old linen, because today you can not find this great quality anymore.
Recycling is a great way to let materials keep their history, but put them in another relation. I offer paper envelopes made of old atlases, Origami butterflys made of newspapers and industrial lamp shades with a new look. Since January 2009 I also have a small but fine collection of designed porcelain online.
