A PASSION FOR TRAVEL AND NATURE TURNS INTO HIGH-QUALITY FUNCTIONAL CLOTHING THAT CAN BE RELIED ON IN ALL SITUATIONS.
Living out creativity and simply making clothes - with this passion in his luggage, Stephan Knüppel, founder and owner of Elkline, got into his VW van 20 years ago and started the ignition. Where exactly it was going, he didn't know at the time - the journey was the destination.
What sounds like a cliché meant for Elkline: being on the road, meeting people, hearing stories. And in the end, writing stories himself - with garments that customers can rely on for a long time, instead of disappearing into the wardrobe forever after one season.
On the way to becoming a permanent fixture in the outdoor clothing market, Elkline often took detours and detours. They have challenged us and driven us again and again to return to the values that are important to us: Reliability, awareness, joy of discovery and openness. And not to remain in a prefabricated box, but to place our craftsmanship in the focus of our work.
But even after 20 years, we always keep one thing in mind: our responsibility towards people and nature. Because they make our clothing possible. That's why sustainability and social responsibility are not just buzzwords for us, but everyday life.
This is still our incentive today: to create clothing for people who share our passion for nature and travel and who, like us, are curious to explore new paths. For all those who want to experience true moments, discover unique places and meet distinctive people.
