About Nijens

We are a small company based in Berlin. Since 2004, we have mainly been producing bags, women's clothing (skirts, pants), and for the cold season, hats, gloves, headbands, and leg warmers. Our production sites are in India (Delhi-textiles, Kolkata-leather, Nepal Kathmandu-wool). Amos Kalay, our boss, speaks fluent Hindi, which allows him to frequently be on-site in India and Nepal to oversee production and maintain good contacts. Not only with the local bosses but especially with the workers who make our products, which greatly helps us achieve good processing quality. We pay particular attention to ensuring that no children are employed and that working conditions are fair. In recent years, we have intensified our efforts to significantly reduce waste and potential climate impact from our production and logistics.Read their story
