How to right birthday we know, and to celebrate six years, we are not missing any opportunity to prove it. Almost two million trees, a pop-up store in Aarau, unforgettable events and projectslots of sustainable fashion and an unbroken pioneering spirit, that was our year.
Once upon a time, there were two friends and this one idea. The story of NIKIN began on October 22, 2016 over a beer at McArthurs Pub in Lenzburg, where Nicholas and Robin formulated the vision of founding a brand that would plant a tree for every product sold. The first major milestone was the small warehouse in Seengen and NIKIN became a limited company in 2018. Shortly afterwards came the new logo, the first full-time employees and a visit to Canada, where tree-planting partnerOne Tree Planted. A special moment was when Nicholas and Robin met someone they didn't know on the street wearing "their" clothes for the first time. To this day, the two say: "We could never have dreamed of achieving so much in just a few years."
Trees in the heart and on the chest
As an environmentally conscious clothing brand, we want to make the world greener step by step and show that sustainability can be lived by all of us in our everyday lives. We have already achieved a lot on this path, but we still have at least as much to do. Admittedly, a lot has changed in six years. "More is more" is the motto, which unfortunately also applies to the fashion industry.
Step by step, tree by tree
But this is exactly what has made NIKIN even more important. Because at a time when a sweater is only worn three times and everyone has an opinion, but rarely knows, it is all the more important that someone steps on the brakes and shows how things can be done differently. So for us, the sixth year in which we try to make life a little more sustainable. We definitely want to plant even more trees (as we all know, Robin would prefer to go into the field himself with every seedling) and grow as a consistently sustainable company.
Happy birthday - instead of plastic
Standing still is not an option for us, because anyone who rests on their laurels is wearing them on the wrong part of their body. There will be no special products for our birthday this year, instead we are throwing a 3-day Birthday Weekend Sales Campaign! Start is the Friday, October 21, 2022from 12 noon and ends on Sunday, October 23, 2022at 11:59 pm.

Happy birthday!
How to celebrate
The Product Development has rolled up its sleeves above the elbows, the Marketing popping the corks, the events team can barely keep their feet under the table until the party. FFor the management sleepless weekends are a paradise discipline, our customer support is on hand as usual for everything, while the sales keeps the ups and downs under control and the HR hands out high fives (or, in the spirit of the birthday: six) in the team. We are in a celebratory mood! But for now, we hope you enjoy browsing through our online store or live in our pop-up store in Aarau. We would be delighted if one or two items of clothing "with the tree" found a place in your wardrobe.
So here's to the first and the next 6 years!
