We develop and distribute
social-business products and
truly sustainable brands
_________________

kushel - cosy by nature

From negative to positive

Kushel creates superior cosiness from truly organic materials, making it easy for you to live a more sustainable lifestyle.

We want to set a trend in the industry and prove that it is possible to deliver a superior product while giving back more resources to the earth than we use to produce it.

By planting 2 trees for each bath towel and compensating the carbon emissions and blue-water usage of the towel production, we will become the first climate & resource positive textile brand.

Better late than never.

ethnotek - keeping culture alive

Ethnotek´s mission is to keep culture alive by creating high quality bags made
of Nylon and recycled PET-plastic that feature ethically sourced handmade textiles.

Most Ethnotek bags can be customized via removable front panels. These
are created from handmade textiles that are sourced and purchased directly
from the artisan or craft village in which they were created.

Gustavo Trading has become a strong partner for Ethnotek by growing
direct demand via social marketing and establishing a selective distribution
to 65 opinion-leader retailers in DACH countries.

kushel - cosy by nature

N'go Shoes creates sneakers that aim to promote traditional Vietnamese handicrafts. For each pair of shoes bought, you participate in the construction of elementary schools in Vietnam.

The fabric is created in a cooperative way with the artisans involved, special and unique. Most of the patterns are traditional, but some are created new exclusively for N’go Shoes. N’go Shoes combines french elegance and vietnamese craftmenship.

Gustavo Trading distributes N’go Shoes since 2020 and supports the founders on their way to become the most social and ecological sustainable shoe brand in the market.

I was an on-site business-consultant, advising
fashion and sports brands on implementing
digital strategies. in 2015 I found my Mission:
distribute good products that create awareness
for, and help solve social and environmental
problems.
