About us

ABOUT ANDERS & KOMISCH

Functional design – thoughtful, minimalist, durable and different.

We are a Berlin-based label creating practical products for everyday life. We design wherever inspiration takes us – and manufacture in Germany. With heart. With thought. With honesty and openness.

How it all began

Maike was travelling around the world. Andreas was spending a year in Canada. Meeting in 2015 – let alone starting a label together one day – was not part of the plan.

But Andreas was looking for a small wallet with a coin compartment. What he found were card holders, card sliders and slim wallets – most without a coin compartment, too large or simply not thought through enough. So we decided to make one ourselves.

The first ideas took shape in 2016 on a small island in Mexico – notebook, pen and laptop. In 2017, ANDERS & KOMISCH was founded in Berlin. With just one product: the A&K MINI Classic – a thoughtfully designed small wallet with a coin compartment.
 

Our vision – why we do what we do

Not because the market needs more things. But because the things we use every day genuinely interest us.

Why is a wallet so big when you really only need three cards, a few coins and a banknote? Why does a bag already feel heavy when it is empty? Why does everything have to be made from leather?

We ask ourselves these questions – and try to find better answers. Not by simply adding more things, but by focusing on functionality, thoughtful design and lightness for everyday life.

Instead of mass-produced products, we focus on carefully considered materials, minimalist designs and production in Germany. We rethink constructions instead of simply changing their appearance.

We don't invent new things – we improve existing ones. No unnecessary extras, just solutions that work in everyday life.

We don't run paid advertising and have grown organically – through our products and enthusiastic customers like this one:

“Honestly – I don't know if I've ever had anything designed more cleverly than the A&K MINI. And definitely never a wallet this good by such a wide margin. The MINI has simply become indispensable in everyday life – I can't imagine ever using a normal wallet again. The MINI really does EVERYTHING right!”

Our designs are clear.
Our production is hands-on.
Our decisions are made for the long term.

What drives us

Travel, movement and the feeling of travelling light.

Our products grow out of experience – not trend analysis.

Function before decoration.
Lightness before excess.
 

ANDERS & KOMISCH today

Almost ten years after the first idea took shape on a small island in Mexico, we are still a small, independent label.

We sell online and at two or three markets a year – and we still get excited about every single order.

Our name started as a joke: Mr. Anders & Mrs. Komisch. These days, it makes many of our customers smile – and that actually fits quite well with what we do.

Thoughtful things that are a little different.
And sometimes a little bit funny.
 

Quality & service

Every product is made by hand and carefully checked before it leaves us. We stand behind what we make.

Have a question or a suggestion? We are always happy to hear from you.

And in the end, we're happiest when you are.

So nice to have you here!

Maike & Andreas
