th<strong>in</strong>k of a cloth<strong>in</strong>g company. but imag<strong>in</strong>e there are<br />
no employees. no 40-hour work<strong>in</strong>g week. the compa<br />
doesn’t even have a landl<strong>in</strong>e phone connec<strong>tio</strong>n.<br />
ma<strong>in</strong>ly because there is no „headoffice“ <strong>to</strong> put the<br />
telephone <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong>. there is no „report<strong>in</strong>g cha<strong>in</strong>“ <strong>to</strong> a rem<br />
cfo or board of direc<strong>to</strong>rs. the company doesn’t even<br />
hire pr agencies <strong>to</strong> make up good s<strong>to</strong>ries about it<br />
or poll<strong>in</strong>g firms <strong>to</strong> do „core market research“ and f<strong>in</strong>d<br />
out what’s gonna be next season’s hot shizzle<br />
„out there“.<br />
imag<strong>in</strong>e the company actually is „out there“ every<br />
day. <strong>in</strong>stead of employees, there are talented<br />
friends liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> new york, bali or zurich contribut<strong>in</strong>g t<br />
all aspects of the brand with great passion and<br />
talent. and <strong>in</strong>stead of cfos and board people there’s<br />
just us. longtime friends that not only own the<br />
company <strong>to</strong>gether but are passionately <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> i<br />
products from the first ideas <strong>to</strong> produc<strong>tio</strong>n. and <strong>in</strong><br />
the end even pack the boxes and send them <strong>to</strong> you<br />
just <strong>to</strong> make sure it gets done right. and th<strong>in</strong>k or<br />
talk about their „bus<strong>in</strong>ess“ not only between 9 am<br />
and 5 pm, but pretty much all the time. because the<br />
are not just <strong>in</strong> it <strong>to</strong> make money.<br />
they love what they do and they have a hell of a<br />
good time.<br />
some call it „blue eyed“ or „unbus<strong>in</strong>esslike“.<br />
we decided <strong>to</strong> call it atreebutes.<br />
