It began with two neighbors — quick friends, now co-founders — Henrike Bergmann and Jessica Menten. Both are mothers who, in the chaos of everyday life, found time to sew and knit together, creating simple, honest, and colorful pieces for their kids. Before long, positive feedback started rolling in from friends, then strangers, and so, Stube was born. The first collection is intentionally small — seven versatile, unisex pieces designed for movement, comfort, and style. Cuts are simple, timeless, and made to last, thanks to features like adjustable waists and generous fits. There’s a clear sense of care in every detail. From the color palette — easy to mix and match for playful combinations or wear as a tonal set — to the soft, carefully sourced fabrics. Organic poplin cotton is used for items such as the Luca Pants, while the knitwear is crafted (by grannies no less) in alpaca wool.
Certain pieces are made with deadstock fabric (available in limited quantities), with new colors and styles to be introduced over time. These are clothes that work hard: relaxed enough for the playground, refined enough for special occasions, like dinner with the grandparents. At its core, Stube is about more than kidswear, it’s a project rooted in friendship, craftsmanship, and a desire to create something honest and long-lasting. Designed and produced locally in Berlin, with the kind of attention only two mums-turned-makers can offer, each piece carries the warmth of where it came from — and a little room to grow.
