In 2015, Niko Vatheuer founded Embassy of Bricks and Logs, a vegan company with a plan to create a contemporary fashion outerwear brand with high aesthetic and ethical standards. Vatheuer had been in the fashion industry for more than two decades, running a successful streetwear fashion brand before. Through their designs, focussed on contemporary, utilitarian silhouettes with a functional approach and the use of hand-selected premium materials, the Embassy brings a high-quality streetwear approach into the realm of ethical fashion. Even though Embassy of Bricks and Logs doesn’t identify as an ethical fashion brand, striving for new, sustainability-driven solutions to making great outerwear is part of the DNA of the brand. They are always on the lookout for new materials and champion a forward-thinking approach always – in regards to garment workers, animals and the environment. This isn’t ethical to them. That’s common sense for them.The Embassy want to make the final goal of putting out a collection made from 100% sustainable materials a reality by 2023 and want to establish other third-party certifications until 2025.
