Like Markus, I have two adult children from a previous relationship. My family has been making slippers for generations, but for a long time I lacked the right idea to continue this tradition. As a fashion-oriented person, it was important to me to preserve traditions, but at the same time to create something that also appeals to the younger generation. I have always been creative - after finishing high school for fine arts, I immersed myself in the world of fashion and then went into advertising and graphic design. Together with Markus and the experience we had gained, we finally decided to start our own company. This is how our vision of combining tradition with modern design and creating FUZZ, a slipper that is both stylish and sustainable, was born. My circle of friends gave me the valuable input to not only make a fashion statement with this project, but also to make a social contribution. This is how the idea of not only producing trendy and sustainable slippers with FUZZ, but also supporting children and young people in our production country, Nepal, was born.
