About us

MOA & LOV (sisters Marija & Katja, a Photographer and a Creative Director) began in a tiny kitchen, with Katja’s 3-month-old baby bouncing on her lap while we talked about our love of beautiful objects and their stories.

We’ve always enjoyed browsing, shopping, finding, discovering and recommending those little hard-to-define but lovely-to-look-at charms which help turn a house into a home. As sisters living in the same city, we love to pick items for each other, and now we want to share the fun with you.

We love sourcing and uncovering hidden gems, mixing and matching styles and cultures. We’re here to help you ‘brighten the corners’ with unique, vintage and handcrafted pieces, whatever your style and wherever you call home.

After moving to Berlin and decorating our apartments with vintage objects and furniture (always on a strict budget!) we realised that our favourite finds were all second hand.

"We want to support a better future by rediscovering a beautiful past, and that includes encouraging more people to shop vintage, rather than simply creating ‘more stuff’."

— Katja & Marija

Our values

As a society, we’ve become so used to the cycle of buying new things, replacing them or simply throwing them away – plastic things especially. And let’s face it: nobody wants to live their life surrounded only by plastic!

Our environment clearly can’t keep up with all this ‘new stuff’, so we’re focused on finding joy in what’s already out there: beautiful handcrafted pieces made from natural materials, with hidden stories and visible personalities.

We are a part of Circular Berlin, Circular City – Zirkuläre Stadt e.V.

We want to support a better future by rediscovering a beautiful past, and that includes encouraging more people to shop vintage, rather than simply creating ‘more stuff’.

We’re also committed to using recyclable, natural materials for our packaging, and to using as little packaging as necessary. Currently 90% of our packaging is recyclable, natural material, and we hope to be able to make that 100% in the future.

FAQS:

I’m worried about delivery. Will my item arrive safely?

Is your packaging sustainable?

Yes, all our packaging is sustainable and 100% recyclable. It's made from biodegradable filling material and recycled paper. In case we need to use plastic wrapping foil to keep your order extra-safe, we make sure to use what we already have in stock and never buy new.

We’ve even been told it smells nice! (Which makes a change from ordering things from eBay which sometimes arrive smelling of cigarettes and dogs!)

Photos on some sites can be misleading. How do I know what an item is *really* like?

We’ve all been there - you see something you like online and when it arrives it doesn’t live up to the pictures…

We know how annoying that can be! So we’re careful to take pictures which show a piece in its best light, but also not to mislead with colours and scale.

We also list all the dimensions of every piece so you can plan for its new home, and give details of any scratches, marks, dents, bruises or heartaches your chosen piece may have suffered along the way. All our pieces are vintage and have lived lives before we met them!

And if for any reason you are disappointed with your new piece when it arrives, return shipping is completely FREE inside 30 days. Just let us know and we’ll arrange a full refund once your order arrives safely back with us.

Shopping online can sometimes be overwhelming. How many items do you have?

Not that many! We handpick only the vintage pieces we personally like, so every new collection is carefully curated.

We try to keep enough items in stock to offer a nice range but without causing overwhelm for browsers. We have no ambitions to be Etsy!

We regularly update our collections and most pieces are one-offs to us - so the best way to experience our collection is to subscribe to our LOVers newsletter and we’ll send you details of what’s new every Sunday morning so you can browse over breakfast (or brunch. It’s the weekend after all).
