Kësse fir Mupp a Kaz aus recycléiertem Kaffisak!

D’Ralottakësse sinn aus Kaffisak (Jute) den an der Reegel schonn eng Kéier ronderëm d’Welt gereest ass: hiergestallt ginn déi meescht an Indien, duerno gi se dann an d’Land geschéckt wou de Kaffi dra gemaach gëtt (Latainamerika, Afrika oder Asien). Duerno komme se da mam grénge Kaffi an Europa (oft iwwer Amsterdam) an d’Réischterei (zB op Beefort bei Patrice.Coffee ;)) a ginn eidel gemaach a wechgeheit. Dat ass definitiv ze schued fir esou e gutt Material mat faarwegem Drock!

Dofir sammelen ech se, fëlle se mat geschredderten Textilien, bitze se zou a bidden äre Muppen a Kaze se un  – an déi fléien drop. Firwat weess ech och net genau, mee warscheinlech well et nëmmen natierlech Materialie sinn. Wann dir iech wëll ukucke, wéi dat ausgesäit, da kuckt emol an d’Galerie.

Kann ee se wäschen?

Jo, MEE: am beschte kal an nëmme minimal schleideren. Den Drock ass net geduecht fir eng Wäsch ze halen (well se jo normalerweis ewechgeheit ginn) an dofir geet d’Faarf an der Wäsch zum Deel raus. Mir wäschen eis bal ni, mir staubsaugen d’Këssen (dat fonctionéiert, well se net elektrostatesch sinn, wi Fleece zB, dh d’Hoer fléien net direkt zréck op d’Këssen). Wa Bulli drun ass kann een den einfach dréchne loossen an dann ausklappen oder staubsaugen.

Wann dir soss nach Froen oder Ureegungen hutt, dann zéckt net, mech ze kontaktéieren – Feedback ass ëmmer intressant!

Ah jo – d’Kësse maachen ech och op Mooss a se gesinn och super op (Gaarde)miwwel aus

beds for dogs and cats, made of recycled coffee bags!

Ralotta dog beds are made of coffee bags (jute) that usually have already travelled the world: most of them are made in India and are then sent to a country where coffee is grown (Latin America, Africa, Asia). After that, the bags, filled with green coffee beans, come to Europe (usually via Amsterdam) to the coffee roasters (like Patrice.Coffee in Beaufort  ) where they are emptied and dumped. I think that is very sad since it is a strong fabric with a nice print!

That is why I collect them, fill them with shredded textiles, stitch them up and offer them to your dogs and cats  – and they love ’em! I am not sure why exactly tbh but I think it’s because the beds are made of natural materials. If you want to see some results, check out the gallery.

Can I wash them?

Yes, BUT: wash them cold and no spinning please. The print is not made to last (since they are usually thrown away after first use) and that’s why the colours fade after washing. We usually don’t wash our dog beds, but simply vacuum them. Vacuuming actually gets the dog hair off of them because the material is not electric static (like fleece for example). If there is mud on  it, let it dry and vacuum the dog bed.

If you have more questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me, feedback is always interesting!

Oh and one more thing: I also make custom sizes and they look great on (garden) furniture
