Let customers speak for us
Ich habe bei Henriks ein Hemd gekauft und bin absolut begeistert – der Service und die Qualität sind hervorragend und man spürt sofort, dass Nachhaltigkeit hier wirklich gelebt wird. Ein durch und durch stimmiges Produkt, das nicht nur gut aussieht, sondern sich auch gut anfühlt – für mich und für die Umwelt. Klare Empfehlung!
Hervorragende Qualität von Meisterhand und in kürzester Zeit versandt!
Henriks-Shop ist für mich eine echte Entdeckung! Die Qualität der Kleidung ist einfach herausragend – schon beim Auspacken merkt man, dass hier mit viel Sorgfalt gearbeitet wird. Die Stoffe fühlen sich edel an, die Verarbeitung ist top, und alles sitzt perfekt.
Was mich aber wirklich begeistert hat, sind die Designs: modern, stilvoll und trotzdem absolut alltagstauglich. Man sieht sofort, dass hier jemand mit echter Leidenschaft für Mode dahintersteht. Ich habe selten Kleidung gefunden, die so hochwertig wirkt und gleichzeitig so tragbar ist.
Auch der Service war erstklassig: schneller Versand, sympathischer Kundenkontakt und das gute Gefühl, etwas Nachhaltiges zu kaufen.
Für mich ganz klar: Ich werde definitiv wieder bestellen!!!
Ich finde alles so unglaublich weich und es fühlt sich alles fest und langlebig an.
Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Service, der Lieferzeit und der Qualität.
Habe mir 2 Hemden auf gut Glück mal bestellt. Was soll ich sagen...ich denke ich brauche einen neuen Kleiderschrank. Von casual zu ausgefallen ist alles dabei. Aber das Tragegefühl ist einfach was ganz anderes. Bei den verschiedenen Mustern wächst auch noch die Sammelleidenschaft. Ich denke Henriks kommt auf meine Lieblingsliste.
Gesehen und verliebt.
Qualität ist einmalig gut und die Kommunikatin bei Fragen war einwandfrei.
Ganz hervorragende, wirklich nachhaltige Bekleidung! Wer ein besonderes, mit Leidenschaft und obendrein fair hergestelltes Produkt erwartet, wird nicht enttäuscht

01 Moisture management
Alpaca wool's moisture-wicking superpowers absorb 30% of its weight in moisture while still feeling dry, keeping you fresh all day long.
02 Odor-resistant
My alpaca fibers are naturally antibacterial and prevent odor by locking in moisture and repelling bacteria. They stay odor-free even after repeated wear without the need for constant washing—a must for a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle.
03 Temperature regulation
Your personal climate control system, powered by nature. My alpaca wool works like magic—the wool's natural crimp structure creates insulating air pockets, making it an expert at temperature regulation, no matter the season. Think of it as nature's air conditioner, without the need for a thermostat.
04 Super Fine Alpaca Wool
My fibers, made from hand-picked alpaca wool, are a luxurious 22 micrometers thick—unfathomably soft yet durable enough to be worn for generations. Spun in Peru
05 Hardly any pilling
Similar to cashmere, but less prone to pilling.
06 Hypoallergen
Unlike sheep's wool, it does not contain lanolin, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin.
07 Robustness
Baby alpaca wool is durable and less likely to tear or deform.
From the search for substance
It wasn't planned—but it was probably necessary. I didn't go to Peru to make fashion. I went to understand. Initially out of curiosity, then out of love—and I stayed for a full five years . Five years that fundamentally changed my life and my attitude toward clothing, work, and time.
Between the vibrant colors of Lima and the tranquil expanse of the Andes, I first encountered alpaca wool . Not at a market or in a showroom, but at an altitude of over 4,000 meters, in a small village where people live with this fiber as if it were part of the family.
I saw how the animals roam freely across the high pastures, how they are sheared only when the natural rhythm allows it—and how much knowledge and respect goes into every single fiber. Alpaca wool isn't produced there. It's inherited, cared for, and passed down through generations.
During this time, I began working with women from the Andes —experienced knitters whose hands tell stories. I continue to create my knitwear with them today. Each piece is created, sometimes entirely by hand , without machines, without rushing—stitch by stitch, with an eye on the essentials. For many of these women, knitting is not just a craft, but a part of their cultural identity. And for me, it's an honor to work with them on a form of fashion that exudes authenticity .
I learned what it means to work with nature, not against it . And I understood that true quality takes time—and dedication. The softness, warmth, and lightness of genuine alpaca wool have never left me. And I knew: If I ever wanted to make clothes, it would be with this honesty. And with the people who showed me what it means to craft with conviction .
The dyeing is also done naturally by hand in the Andes. The women who dye the wool live right next to the alpaca farms.
I am proud to say that every piece in my knitwear collections is made by women in the Peruvian Andes from fine Peruvian alpaca wool.

Alpacas are a species of camel native to the South American Andes, particularly in Peru. The wool of adult animals is sheared from the entire body, while baby alpaca wool is produced exclusively from the fine fibers from the necks of young animals. This particularly soft, fine hair is known and prized as a luxury yarn due to its rarity and fineness.
I source my alpaca yarn exclusively from renowned farms in Peru. The animals there live outdoors in the Andes, not in cages. The yarn is then sent directly to the seamstresses in Peru for processing. My clothing is not mass-produced but individually made. The journey from yarn to finished product is fully traceable for each of my garments.
