About ★ ole & fine ★

Hey you,

★ ole & fine ★ is a gift label from Essen in the heart of the Ruhr area. All designs in the online shop are designed and sewn by me.

My cuddly toy designs, accessories and decorative items are always made after you place your order and are specially made for you. That's why I'm happy to create custom-made items for you and your loved ones.

I want to work sustainably and therefore avoid producing large collections. Your order may take longer than you are used to from large online shops, but it will be cut, sewn and packaged with love in my Essen studio.

Slow Design – made in NRW.

My cuddly toys and designs play with childhood memories and are inspired by my love of animals, selected materials, my endless creativity and my many travels. By the way, the name of my label ★ ole & fine ★ comes from my two street cats, Tomcat Ole and Cat Fine.

I studied communication design and illustration - so I'm a career changer in the stuffed animal industry. Passion and creativity alone aren't enough for a career change. You also need very special customers and fans. That's why I'm happy every day that such great people like you find their way to me and stay.

We wish you lots of fun with ★ ole & fine ★

Kathrin
