other than most of today's small, independent fashion labels, we decided not to work with standard factory blanks, but instead to have our own unique pieces made exactly according to our wishes. all of our products are produced in Portugal under the best possible conditions in our partnering factories. portugal is the go-to place for sustainable, fair and socially-responsible apparel production.

the Y★U idea was born in our little apartment in Dresden, Germany. "We" - that is Leon, a 24 year old photographer, filmmaker and industrial engineering student and Alida, a 21 year old student teacher. together we work on everything from designs and ideas to finishing the prints and packing your orders - all based from our little apartment.

simply put: "quality has its price". because we are not working with standard factory blanks, we needed way more time to come up with the perfect hoodie for you. every step along the way is needed to be done manually with the highest amount of diligence. every design, every photo, every piece of text or CSS-code on this website is done by us, for you. this ultimately results in a price that can obviously not compete with your standard fast-fashion dealers, but instead gives you your favorite hoodie in a quality fast-fashion could never compete with. and on top of that: we even pay for your shipping. doesn't that sound like a good deal now?
