It all started with two dreamy visionaries discussing how fashion brands can have a positive impact on society and the environment through their products. This conversation sparked the idea for apn gallery. What followed was a year-long process to create something that reflected our values and meaningfully contributed to society with more than selling appealing products.

Instead of going the usual route of creating a fashion brand by simply ordering ready-made garments and branding them with our logo, we decided to look at the creation of clothing from a different angle. What happens when we try to create our collections exclusively from available second-hand materials? What at first sounded utopian became a reality for our main collection and will be applied to all other collections in the long run.

Our second challenge was to integrate our social mission into each collection in such a way that it stands out from typical corporate social responsibility initiatives. And for that, we had to find a solution to create direct social added value before we even sold a piece. True to the motto: talk less, do more.

After an extensive conceptual phase, we came up with the idea of dedicating each collection to a specific social cause. This approach allows us to focus on specific issues and support relevant partners. In this way, we make it possible for everyone to become part of the movement without buying anything.

We are proud to have arrived here after this long journey to be able to say to you: It's great that you are here to enter our gallery and shape it with us!
