Two weeks ago, the Melagence Team participated in a special event. One of our beloved partners, Andreas Murkudis, with the help of Fondament Organization, has organized a Charity Market on the 9th of April, 2022, to support people affected by the war in Ukraine.
The market was installed outside the MURKUDIS 81 store on Potsdamer Straße and included 30 market stands offering design, fashion and lifestyle products from more than 100 different brands. It was a remarkable selection by the Andreas Murkudis Team, including some of our dearest #melagencebrands. The market had a unique atmosphere inviting everyone to support Ukraine with their purchases while enjoying the live music by Kiev-based DJs shemovesshe and Roma Saplin and grabbing a W Pizza and a Noam Beer.
We are proud to represent brands that support important causes and take action when needed. With this article, we would like to say special thanks to ATP Atelier, Caes, Diemme, House of Dagmar and Veilance, whose offerings contributed to the success of the Andreas Murkudis Charity Market.
We are thrilled to share with you that more than € 90.000 was raised and donated to Moabit hilf e.V, Be an Angel e.V. and Mensch Mensch Mensch e.V., which are currently supporting refugees from Ukraine. If you missed the Charity Market and would like to support these organizations, please visit their websites to learn more about how you can help.
Diemme is a high-end brand with a collection that ranges from sneakers to mountaineering boots readapted for city use. The ambition is to produce the highest quality artisan goods with an exceptional level of comfort, with progressive designs as well as sharply executed takes on classic styles. All Diemme shoes are made in Italy at the Calzaturificio Diemme factory in Onè di Fonte, Veneto. The small town in Northeastern Italy is regarded as one of the most important areas for production and research of performance footwear. Diemme draws on the region’s rich heritage in order to create a modern product built on a foundation of performance-driven production methods. Every production step is performed locally in Veneto.Founded and managed by brothers Dennis and Maico Signor, Diemme has 25 years of experience within the outdoor and performance segments, as well as producing for brands such as Maison Martin Margiela, Chanel, Bottega Veneta, and cult Japanese brands like Nonnative and Victim.All parties, from design to development to production, are committed to making a product of the highest quality. As a vertically integrated private company centralized under one roof, Diemme is in a unique position to work with the world’s most high-end leathers and materials.Every Diemme pair is handcrafted by expert workers at every step of the process. The Italian footwear industry is comprised mainly of small family-owned companies. The combination of this network of small-scale supporting industries and highly skilled workers is what makes it possible to produce limited production runs of high-quality artisan products.Sustainability and provenance are key aspects of the Diemme mentality. Buy less, and buy better. Higher material quality, better production, and construction quality, made by workers that are rewarded for their skills.
