Our concept
Imperfect and rejected.
We will explain
Our mission is to inspire and motivate people to use our resources mindfully. As an online shop, we not only want to sell products, but also educate and inform about topics related to product quality and value.
We are not perfect
We want to show what a different way of consuming can look like. We lead by positive example, draw attention to companies that are following in our footsteps, and want to inspire other brands to take a better path. Together, we show that imperfection is not something negative to be avoided. We take the fear out of being imperfect. Because who is to say what is perfect?
We want to do better
Conserving resources is an indispensable part of our everyday work as an online shop and the entire core concept of Mit Ecken und Kanten. We sell B-stock, drawing attention to the fact that these products still have value and definitely deserve a second chance. We also place great importance on doing better when it comes to selecting and using our packaging materials. Wherever possible, we rely on reusable cardboard boxes and strive to use them multiple times before they are sent for recycling. In this way, we actively contribute to conserving resources, avoiding waste, and keeping packaging in the usage cycle for as long as possible.

Why are the products offered at a lower price here?
Why are the products offered at a lower price here?
Almost all products are reduced compared to the normal retail price. This is because these are products that can no longer be sold through regular channels. We believe it would be a great shame to let such fantastic and unique products go unsold. That's why "With Quirks and Imperfections" is also a place for extraordinary products that you don't often find elsewhere.
What do the prices mean?
What do the prices mean?
The price labeled "original price" is the manufacturer's original price. Some of the products available from us are no longer offered by the manufacturers due to defects mentioned in the product description. The price labeled "ours" is the reduced price due to these described defects.
What exactly does "With rough edges" mean?
What exactly does "With rough edges" mean?
At "Mit Ecken und Kanten," you will find brands that want to do things better and products that can no longer be sold in regular retail—essentially a type of outlet, but for products from brands that are trying to take a different path. The shop offers products that were originally samples, have a small cosmetic defect, are part of an older collection, or have old packaging. With this company, we wanted to create an opportunity to give exactly these kinds of products a second chance.
From the very beginning, it has been important to us to refocus on appreciating the products we use every day and to show that consumption can work differently.
