Iris von Arnim x Unger

Iris von Arnim and Unger celebrate their home and friendship with an exclusive sweater as part of a Capsule Collection.

The "Große Freiheit" sweater is the result of the long-standing friendship between Iris von Arnim and Unger and their shared love of their hometown: inspired by the personal connection between the two Hamburg fashion companies and the attitude to life in the Hanseatic city.

Free and direct, Nordic and yet wonderfully cosmopolitan: The spirit that is in the air in Hamburg adorns the preppy look sweater jointly designed by Iris von Arnim and Unger. The design: timeless and sporty, with a touch of nostalgia. The model is embroidered with the words "Große Freiheit" and is available in white and black. Polo collar, zipper and overcut shoulders complete the preppy look. The Capsule Collection is complemented by a cap with the lettering "Große Freiheit" (Great Freedom), which picks up on the preppy look in black and white corduroy. There will also be a canvas beach bag with lettering, a beach towel and a crocheted key ring.

Unger is one of the buyers who have supported Iris von Arnim's Luxury Knitwear since the label's early beginnings. A very personal friendship between the new generation also grew out of their parents' close business ties: the two managing directors Florian Braun (Unger) and Valentin von Arnim also share a passion for Hamburg. They would like to show this passion beyond the borders of Hamburg.

To do so, they invited Danish influencer Josefine Haaning Jensen to Hamburg to discover their favourite city. Wearing a "Große Freiheit" jumper, she explores the Hanseatic city from the Alster to the Iris von Arnim headquarters at Frauenthal and Unger on Neuer Wall to the harbour.

"In addition to the very successful business partnership, our companies are also linked by friendship. By the way, this is not only true for Valentin and me, our teams are also very close. This openness and trust make the collaboration particularly valuable and pleasant. I don't think there is anything comparable in the German fashion trade; so it's all the nicer that we are continuing on this path together and that we are also establishing this externally with this collaboration!
