Embassy of Bricks and Logs

In 2015, founders Niko Vatheuer and Eric Mirbach set out to found urban outerwear brand Embassy of Bricks and Logs. The plan was to create a contemporary fashion outerwear brand with high aesthetic and ethical standards.

Vatheuer had been in the fashion industry for more than two decades, running a successful streetwear fashion brand before, while Mirbach came in as the creative director of ethical fashion and lifestyle magazine Vegan Good Life. Together with Niko’s wife Anna, an internationally published fashion photographer, the small team set out to do things differently.

Through their designs, focussed on contemporary, utilitarian silhouettes with a functional approach and the use of hand-selected premium materials, the Embassy brings a high-quality streetwear approach into the realm of ethical fashion. 

The credo: Design first. The team’s number one goal is to make a great product that wins people over. Only in the next step, they’re set on making this product as sustainable as possible, but without compromising on quality.
