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 sustainability issues.
We are not perfect
We want to show what sustainable consumption can look like. We lead by example, highlighting companies that are following our lead and inspiring other brands to take a sustainable path. Together, we demonstrate that imperfection isn't something to be avoided. We dispel the fear of imperfection. After all, who gets to decide what's perfect?
We want to do better
Conserving resources is an essential part of our daily work as an online shop and of the entire core concept of Mit Ecken und Kanten (With Corners and Edges). We sell B-grade goods, thereby highlighting that these products still have value and definitely deserve a second chance. We also place great emphasis on sustainability in the selection and use of our packaging materials. Wherever possible, we use reusable cardboard boxes and strive to reuse them multiple times before recycling them. In this way, we actively contribute to conserving resources, avoiding waste, and keeping packaging in circulation for as long as possible.

Concept FAQs

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 "With Rough Edges and Corners" you'll find sustainably and fairly produced goods that can no longer be sold in regular stores—a kind of outlet, but specifically for fair and sustainable products. The shop offers items that were originally samples, have a minor cosmetic flaw, are part of an older collection, or have vintage packaging. With this project, we wanted to create an opportunity to give just such products a second chance.
From the very beginning, it was important to us to bring the appreciation of the products we use every day back into focus and to show that consumption can be sustainable.
