ABOUT:
Our Brand is a mix of many diffrent influences. The love for tailoring. The love for design. The passion for skating. The interest in the complexity of making garments. The inevitable will to be an independent brand, that works locally and sustainable together with a network of creative friends from all diffrent backgrounds.

WHY DID YOU START IN THE FIRST PLACE?
The project actually started a long time, because I injured my right knee two times in a row. Back then I was 19 years old and beside skating I discovered my love of drawing, textiles and design, because I had to pause blading. I started and education as a tailor and later I studied fashion design. From the very beginning my dream was to start my own skate/ clothing brand. That was my main motivation over the years of education.
2017 me and my girlfriend started together our brand EDOgoods. We saw the problems of textile industrie and we wanted to do something against it, to show that its possible to work sustainable and without exploitation of humans and nature. Back then our focus shifted and we first had to put a massiv amount of time, research and recoures into building up our own unique structure of how we want to make our cloth.
After this long way we are finally back to blading. We are in the development of two innovative core blading products and we plan to build up a team to support our most favorite Skaters. We want to enrich the blading culture with our products and give something back to the community.

THE MOST LOVED PRODUCT: In winter its our beanie made of finest merino wool.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS MISSING IN BLADING?
