The products are meticulously crafted in their own Hamburg located studio from a small team, emphasising fair pay and excellent working conditions.
fyksin exclusively upcycles PVC advertising banners made of monomaterial. The label specialises in discarded materials that are not recyclable. The upcycling process avoids the use of water and chemicals, although the chemical history of the reused materials remains unknown. The products are shipped using DHL GoGreen.
The PVC tarps used are characterised by a variety of robust features, including tear resistance, shape stability, water and UV resistance, and resistance to weathering and various chemicals. These features ensure the longevity of the products, making them reliable companions in everyday life. If your product does ever break, fyksin offers an on-site repair service.
The tarps cannot be recycled or disposed of free of charge due to their special properties.
The company’s headquarters is located in Volksdorf, Hamburg. The “Fuchsbau” is not only the production site but also a showroom and sales area. Products are produced in-house, meaning no transportation from factories to stores is necessary. Materials are also locally sourced.
fyksin uses no animal materials.
The collection is enriched by unique, timeless one-of-a-kind pieces. The company places a high value on exclusivity and sustainability, producing only small quantities. This ensures both the quality of each piece and its uniqueness, helping to avoid overproduction. By the way, fyksin also offers personalised products for companies on request.
The label is highly transparent, particularly through its short supply chain, which allows customers to easily understand the production process. On the website, the two female entrepreneurs introduce themselves, making the brand personal and accessible. This openness fosters trust in fyksin and allows for a close relationship with customers who appreciate the value of ethically and locally made products.
