The people behind octopulli
Oktopulli was founded in 2021 by Nancy Frehse & Carla Reuter. They started with the mission to produce gender-neutral & resource-saving fashion for young and old locally.
The Oktopulli team now has four permanent team members and two freelance tailors. Oktopulli also cooperates closely with other local sewing workshops.
The workshop adjacent to the Berlin store is open to everyone - children and adults alike can experience how a piece of clothing is made and how much work goes into the production of their new favorite item.
The Oktopulli team would like to give the tailoring trade more visibility and make the value of clothing and the work behind it clear.
cooperation workshops
Not only do we tailor our clothes in our own workshop, we also work with 110% from Berlin Kreuzberg. Susanne Zmudzinski's workshop mainly produces our clothing for adults. It was important to us to produce the octopus sweaters for adults locally in Berlin. The value of clothing and the work behind it becomes more understandable and tangible the closer we can get to the production and give visibility to the craft. We wanted to be able to meet the people who make our clothes and know their working conditions. At the same time, it is important to us that the tailoring trade in Germany is not lost.
