A place to find small makers

Hi, I’m Mila. Lovely that you’ve stopped by.

Sound familiar? You’re looking for a bag, a cream or a sweater, but ideally you’d like a sustainable option, an honest product.

But just try finding one! All you find are the big chains.

The small maker with a shop around the corner, who really does things differently, does exist. You just never come across them.

That’s why there’s Klooker. Even in that first phase, thousands of people became members. Honestly, I found that quite moving.

Founder Dennis and I recently renewed Klooker. You’ll now find thousands of small, independent shops from all over Europe, in six languages.

From natural skincare to clothing and organic food. Every shop has unique products. A shop gets in because the maker chooses consciously: materials and products that are organic, recycled, plastic-free, circular or plant-based, a certification label, or local craftsmanship. A short, preferably local supply chain.

Skill and personal passion.

Your membership costs less than half a glass of wine a month. It’s for discovering the unique shops from every country and region of Europe, for the stories behind each shop, for our weekly newsletter featuring three makers, and for the discount codes we collect for you.

When you buy, you buy directly from the shop itself. So that money goes to the maker, not to a big chain and not to us either.

What I love most about it? You don’t have to buy anything. You can also just read and discover.

About a maker who turns discarded inner tubes into bags, or about a jar of cream whose farmer you can call by name. Sometimes that’s the nicest feeling: so this exists too.

And then when you need something, you know where to find it. On Klooker.

Becoming a member costs €2.50 a month with an annual membership (€29.99 a year). The first 7 days are free, and you can cancel anytime.

Coming in? Then every week I’ll tell you about three makers.

Love, Mila
