What a cool project. At Fraenck, we are very proud of our latest collab with two great names in the outdoor (sports) world: Bever and Blue Loop! From today on, these Buitenmens collector's items, made of old tents, are available in Bever branches.

Today we reached a new milestone. We couldn't be more proud! Want to know what's going on? Then scroll down to the next heading. :)

Black Friday is here again. A day and weekend that is all about great deals and offers that secretly are not (due to price increases in advance).

As you may know or have guessed, Fraenck is a social enterprise. What does that really mean? We can tell you right now: a lot!

Fraenck wouldn't be Fraenck if we didn't show exactly how we work and who makes our products. During Fashion Revolution Week, two hashtags have been created to do just that: #WhoMadeMyClothes and #IMadeYourClothes. With the hashtag #IMadeYourClothes we introduce one of our employees and give you a peek into the proverbial kitchen of Fraenck.

We all hear the stories about how much clothing we throw away, but it is really eye-opening to see it in real life! Last Monday I visited the 2Switch sorting centre and was amazed. We came to the centre through our participation in the project Duurzame Mode 025 (More on that later :).

Since Corona, everyone has been tidying up a lot. Not really surprising if you spend a lot of time at home and the walls start caving in on you. Thrift shops are overloaded with stuff. Waste stations are avoided because of the crowds and therefore a lot of unusable items are brought to the recycling centre.

Before we started this article, we thought we would only write about the lack of multicultural diversity in the workplace in the Netherlands. But diversity can be found in many areas. Unfortunately, there is still too much discrimination on all possible levels and 'apparent' opposites: young/old, male/female, hetero/LGBTQI+, autochthonous/immigrant. So this is not a straightforward subject.
