About
Meet The Team behind Haderlump Atelier Berlin.
At Haderlump, fashion is a timeless force - an extension of the self, a form of armor. It protects, empowers, and reveals. Our garments are not mere fabric but vessels of individuality, carriers of stories, and shields against a world overwhelmed by homogenization and conformity.
Haderlump itself is a strange word. That's part of the reason we chose it.
In German, it once referred to ragpickers and traveling traders, people who collected old fabrics and gave them new life. Most of what we work with is second-hand or deadstock - we're carrying on a tradition of giving fabric a second life, but through craftsmanship and intentional design.
The name also carries friction. It's not soft or sleek. It makes people pause - and that's exactly what we want. We're not here to blend in; we're here to reframe what's possible.
At the same time, we don't take the word's original associations lightly - poverty, marginalization, disposability. Being aware of our privilges, we know we're walking a fine line. But the awareness reminds us not to take anything for granted: neither the materials, nor the labor.
Each of our team members brings something to the table that another might lack, allowing us to operate in a dynamic, symbiotic exchange of perspectives.
