KONPLOTT


Warum wir eine Frauenfirma sind?

"Frauen betrachten Ihre Arbeit wie Ihr Baby."

"Ich habe die Firma wie eine Familie organisiert."

"Wir sind auch schon lieb aber auch sehr konsequent."

"Um kreativ zu sein muss ich weich und offen sein das geht mit Frauen besser"

Miranda Konstantinidou

Designerin & Gründerin




Transparenz 

heißt für uns zu zeigen, woher mein Schmuckstück kommt, wer es gemacht hat. Aber vor allem auch:

 Wie wurde mein Schmuckstück gemacht?

Handarbeit


Wie in der guten alten Zeit





Verantwortlich sein

ist unser Leitbild.  Wir sind verantwortlich für das, was wir tun. Aber wir sind auch verantwortlich für das, was wir nicht tun. Verantwortlich fühlen wir uns vor allem gegenüber unseren Mitarbeitern und Kunden. Verantwortlich fühlen wir uns aber auch gegenüber der Welt, der Umwelt und der Kultur, in der sie und wir leben und arbeiten. 

"KONPLOTT wants to be a promoter of a safer, fairer, more transparent and more accountable fashion and industry."



Das ist Marisa Matugas

Marisa arbeitet seit 2009 in unserer Manufaktur auf Cebu. Sie ist dort eine von mehr als 600 Kolleginnen und Kollegen die Dein Schmuckstück planen, löten,  fassen, biegen und Steine einsetzen.  Jedes einzelne KONPLOTT Stück wird von Miranda Konstantinidou entworfen und von Marisa und Ihren Kolleginnen von Hand gefertigt.   

Doch was heißt das konkret?  Was heißt handgemacht? Und was heißt eigene Manufaktur?  Und wer sind die Damen die meinen Schmuck machen?  Wir möchten die Tür zu unserer Manufaktur auf Cebu/Philipines weit  aufmachen und die Frage beantworten:.  

"Who made my jewellery?"

  



"Wir sind eine Frauenfirma"

We want to demonstrate our commitment to transparency. 


#1 

Fashion provides dignified work, from conception to creation to catwalk. It does not enslave, endanger, exploit, overwork, harass, abuse or discriminate against anyone. Fashion liberates worker and wearer and empowers everyone to stand up for their rights.

#2

 Fashion provides fair and equal pay. It enriches the livelihood of everyone working across the industry, from farm to shop floor. Fashion lifts people out of poverty, creates thriving societies and fulfils aspiration.

#3 

Fashion gives people a voice, making it possible to speak up without fear, join together in unity without repression and negotiate for better conditions at work and across communities.

#4 

Fashion respects culture and heritage. It fosters, celebrates and rewards skills and craftsmanship. It recognises creativity as its strongest asset. Fashion never appropriates without giving due credit or steals without permission. Fashion honours the artisan.

#5 

Fashion stands for solidarity, inclusiveness and democracy, regardless of race, class, gender, age, shape or ability. It champions diversity as crucial for success.

#6

 Fashion conserves and restores the environment. It does not deplete precious resources, degrade our soil, pollute our air and water or harm our health. Fashion protects the welfare of all living things and safeguards our diverse ecosystems.

#7

 Fashion never unnecessarily destroys or discards but mindfully redesigns and recuperates in a circular way. Fashion is repaired, reused, recycled and upcycled. Our wardrobes and landfills do not overflow with clothes that are coveted but not cherished, bought but not kept.

#8

 Fashion is transparent and accountable. Fashion embraces clarity and does not hide behind complexity nor rely upon trade secrets to derive value. Anyone, anywhere can find out how, where, by whom and under what conditions their clothing is made.

#9 

Fashion measures success by more than just sales and profits. Fashion places equal value on financial growth, human wellbeing and environmental sustainability.

#10 

Fashion lives to express, delight, reflect, protest, comfort, commiserate and share. Fashion never subjugates, denigrates, degrades, marginalises or compromises. Fashion celebrates life.


"Wir können nicht versprechen, immer perfekt zu sein, aber wir laden Dich ein Dir ein eigenes Bild zu machen."

Soziale Standards im Vergleich.

"Warum wir stolz darauf sind, auf den Philippinen zu produzieren"

 Ja, wir sind sehr stolz darauf, auf den Philippinen zu produzieren. Natürlich stand am Anfang auch eine betriebswirtschaftliche Entscheidung. Aber warum soll ein Arbeitsplatz auf den Philippinen weniger Wert sein als in Europa?  Natürlich sind die Löhne in Cebu 1:1 umgerechnet niedriger als in Deutschland. Aber es kommt doch darauf an, ob man von seiner Arbeit in dem Land, in dem man lebt, anständig leben kann.  Miranda selbst lebt und arbeitet seit 2001 auf den Philippinen.  Wir sind keine Europäisches Unternehmen das in Asien produzieren lässt. Wir sie ein Unternehmen das auf den Philippinen genauso zuhause ist wie in Europa. Wir sind stolz und dankbar in den Philippinen zu sein. 

"Wie wird mein Schmuckstück hergestellt? Viele unserer Mitarbeite, Kunden und  Freunde haben uns schon auf Cebu besucht. Wir halten nicht von Qualitätssiegeln oder Fait-Trade-Plaketten. Wenn Du kommst, dann machen wir Dir die Tür auf und zeigen Dir alles"
