The discoveries of Paris: ELLIKER.

Like every year, the time has come to take a plane and land in Paris. At Welcome, our hunting ground to satisfy our thirst for research.

Today we're talking about a brand we immediately loved: Elliker.

The brand's mission and core values are connection and understanding, and a love of nature. To achieve this, it draws inspiration from culture, passion, and hobbies. Whether it's the simple, Japanese-inspired concept of forest bathing or foraging for wild garlic in the English countryside, the Elliker team creates content that showcases and explains these activities using a fundamental artistic aesthetic.

This super cool brand immediately struck us because it believes in connecting with and understanding nature. Their end result is lightweight, functional, and eco-sustainable products that allow us to share these experiences.

Elliker products are designed to offer you exactly what you need to explore the great outdoors. They eliminate all the hassles the everyday explorer doesn't need. They introduce essential features that are functional, not just aesthetic. And trust us, having handled them in Paris, the waterproof and durability tests they undergo are tough.

Sustainability and ethics are a priority. They make all their bags from 100% recycled polyester (made from plastic bottles) with GRS Transaction certification, the industry gold standard, from GRS-certified fabric suppliers. Their clothing is made from fully recycled materials or a recycled blend only when essential to maintain the garments' peak performance. They're so obsessed with transparency that you can find all the information about each product on their website.

They also won us over because they collaborate with important and historic brands and with organizations that work every day to make this world a better place. Like the East Keswick Wildlife Trust, in their ongoing commitment to preserving and developing the vast swathes of land within the parish boundaries. This is where the inspiration comes from. They donate 1% of their profits directly to the UK Wildlife Trust, helping to support the development of local areas and wildlife habitats.

Listening to him, Elliker makes you incredibly curious. But please believe us: touching an Elliker piece takes you into another dimension, another perspective on life.
