Bridge&Tunnel: Sustainable Fashion and Social Responsibility

About the Company

Bridge&Tunnel is an innovative and socially engaged fashion label, founded by Lotte and Conny, that has been operating in Hamburg since 2016. The company stands for the connection of high-quality fashion, sustainable production, and social responsibility.

Key Products and Services

The portfolio of Bridge&Tunnel includes high-quality accessories, home textiles, and selected fashion pieces, primarily made from denim and linen. A special focus is on the use of post- and pre-consumer waste, such as the transformation of advertising banners into laptop sleeves, samples into travel bags, and sweaters into shoppers or work clothes into hip bags. Additionally, the label offers Re.Vive, the refurbishment and processing of new and returned goods for companies[1].

Main Mission and Values

The mission of Bridge&Tunnel is to provide socially disadvantaged women and refugees with a second chance by offering them work and recognition. The company relies on the craftsmanship of these women, regardless of formal qualifications. The name "Bridge&Tunnel" symbolizes the building of bridges into the primary labor market and supporting women with their everyday challenges, such as dealing with authorities, legal issues, and language development[1].

Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

Bridge&Tunnel is an impact company characterized by social and ecological sustainability. All products are made from recycled materials, minimizing resource consumption and reducing waste. The company works closely with the relevant job center to promote the qualification and employment of women. By supporting various institutions and companies, such as the Authority for Labor, Health, Social Affairs, Family, and Integration, and the InnoImpact funding program of the Hamburg Investment and Development Bank, Bridge&Tunnel secures additional jobs and advocates for the empowerment of women in the textile industry[1].

Supporters and Partnerships

The company is accompanied by various supporters and partners, including Aurubis, a private investor, and the InnoImpact funding program. These partnerships are essential for securing jobs and continuing the social and sustainable initiatives of Bridge&Tunnel[1].

Bridge&Tunnel is a shining example of how fashion and social responsibility can go hand in hand, demonstrating that economic success and sustainable practices do not have to be in conflict with each other.
