Bridge & Tunnel is a Hamburg-based social design label that stands for second chances, both for people and materials. Since 2016, the brand has been producing high-quality handmade goods in its local workshop, working alongside women from disadvantaged backgrounds and refugees. Many of them bring exceptional craftsmanship to the table, even without formal diplomas or certificates. The company believes that meaningful work not only connects people but also helps them feel seen and valued.
This spirit of second chances also lives in their designs. Every product is made from post- and pre-consumer textile waste. The collection includes thoughtfully crafted accessories, home textiles, and select fashion pieces. For their in-house label, Bridge & Tunnel primarily works with denim and linen. For corporate clients, they transform leftover materials, like event banners, overstock, or uniforms, into entirely new products such as laptop sleeves, travel bags, hip bags, and shoppers.
Bridge & Tunnel gives materials a stylish second life while offering meaningful employment to people who are often overlooked by the job market. Their long-term mission is to empower women in the textile industry and prove that talent and skill come in many forms, not just the ones found on paper.
