FOND OF GmbH

Hello,

we’re FOND OF!

And, we make amazing products, such as backpacks, shoes, accessories, and many more. For us, "amazing" stands for top quality, special features, designs, and responsible manufacturing – they are fun all around. How do we achieve this? Mostly through team play.

Shared successes drive us. Each of us takes responsibility – "can't do" doesn't exist here. And yet, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Appreciation is often just a friendly, cheeky wink away. Here, you can be yourself. You use your strengths for our brands to make the impossible, possible, in the team – and WE give you the trust you need for your success. Curtain up and stage clear: now it’s YOUR turn!
