BuyFromEU

I came across this on the non-lemmy alien website a few years ago and have bought most of my clothing there since.

The concept is a bit different than a normal webshop: you have to become a member in order to buy their products. However, all products are sold at cost.

The idea is that the incentive is different: if their income comes from the memberships, then they can give you the highest quality products because they’re not dependent on stuff breaking and you buying more. It’s a more sustainable practice and I really love it. You get the absolute best quality but without the 300% markup for having a little horse logo on your shirt.

They’ve been around for a few years now and I hope the concept works (not sure if they’re still running on VC money or if they’re profitable yet). It’s probably quite difficult to get people to become members (and stay members after they’ve purchased what they need).

Key features:

• Get notifications when you enter a website if European alternatives are available
• Enter your country for country specific alternatives
• Whitelist websites that you don't want to see notifications for
• A sleek UI made for ease of use, and easy redirect to European alternatives.

My go-to for underwear, t-shirts, shirts, sweatpants... Every color imaginable without any annoying logos.

I simply registered for the free tier with a temporary e-mail address and it works very well for me in English and German. Without registering you can try out few requests.

I (only) have one shirt by them. I was a test buy and it worked out. After several washes that shirt is still in good shape. The shirts from the far east would be too damaged to wear by now.

I am using ‚Lunge‘ shoes almost daily for years now and can only recommend them. What I like specifically is the replaceable, ergonomic inlay.

I own two pairs. If you care for them a bit they are quite sturdy and there are lots of models that can be sent in to be repaired.

I'm a happy customer there.
