Participation in the initiatives organised by the city authorities and support for the local community are an important part of our CSR activities. We therefore welcomed the invitation from the City Council of Bielsko-Biala for cooperation during the UrBBan Fusion Art & Fashion Festival. The joint project involved the development of a unique eco-friendly city gadget with “the spirit of Bielsko-Biala”. In accordance with this, the idea of a limited-edition of brushes in the form of the logo of Bielsko-Biala was conceived!

We prepared the brush production from scratch – from design, through holder preparation, marking, oil soaking, bristle mounting, and packaging into an eco-friendly cardboard box. We used natural raw materials to manufacture the brushes. The holders were made of oil-soaked beech wood; the filling materials were natural (light and dark) horsehair, black bristles and a special brush blend made of light bristles.

Two large brushes have been designed for the dry cleaning of overcoats as well as leather and suede accessories, while the round shoe brush has been designed to apply wax or shoe polish to leather clothes and footwear. The whole set is housed in an elegant eco-style cardboard box with an information leaflet presenting a brief history of 145 years of the factory and an invitation to visit Bielsko-Biala, a beautiful city in the mountains.

Originally, the plan was  to manufacture 100 sets for the fashion festival.

However, as the city gadget met with a very warm reception and great interest from the residents of our city and region, we decided, in agreement and cooperation with the City Council of Bielsko-Biala, to launch the production of the next batch of brushes for retail sale. Our brushes will be available at the Information Centre of the SFERA Shopping Mall at the end of January 2022. We hope that our gadgets will serve you as much as possible!
