The people behind Europe's most exciting brands.
A free monthly magazine, curated by the ledge team.
↓
We started ledge because the people who walk the extra mile to make great things had nowhere to be discovered. The ledge magazine is our way of sharing some of the stories hiding behind these brands.
This is our first edition, and it's about people who decide to follow their calling - even when that means being different, or being alone on the journey. And who knows: maybe they're not as alone as they think.
You'll meet women who craft their products by hand while running their businesses entirely on their own. You'll hear about a new kind of fashion week, and a few other things along the way. And at the end, you'll get a little insight into what ledge actually is.
We hope you enjoy it.
Flying Solo - One Wo(man) shows
They open the laptop before coffee. They pack boxes after dinner. They answer the kind email and the rude one. They make the thing, market the thing, ship the thing. They do it all.
Why Berlin is Europe's most exciting Fashion Week right now
Berlin no longer needs to compete with Paris or Milan. Since Mercedes-Benz stepped away, the city has reinvented its Fashion Week: less spectacle, more purpose, sustainability and creative freedom. And that is precisely what is making it Europe's most exciting Fashion Week right now.
Buying more sustainably: what to look for
"Sustainable" is on almost every label now, which makes it close to useless as a signal. Buying more sustainably comes down to a few things you can actually check: what a material is made of, where it came from, and whether it was built to last. Here is what to look for.
Our journey
ledge started with two childhood friends from the same football team, Zachi and Vali, who got tired of ads and built a marketplace that puts founders and their stories first. No middlemen, no noise, no paid slots.
