About Us

ANKE MARIANNE WITTKE — plaid and lace for the top half of an outfit.

We trade from Gevelsberg, in the Ennepe valley between Hagen and Wuppertal, and we sell tops: four blouses and four closer-fitting tops. Nothing else. That is a narrow enough range that the difference between a flannel cut for layering and one cut to fall straight from the shoulder is something we can actually describe on a product page.

What we sell

Our product type is clothing, and the range is deliberately narrow:

Brown-tone and printed plaid flannel blouses with a full button front
A southwestern-weave blouse and a floral pearl-snap western blouse with a yoke
Lace-trim and rib-knit henley tops, one with a spread collar
A sheer lace-knit bell sleeve top and an embroidered rib top with a horse graphic

How the range gets chosen

Every blouse is washed twice before it goes on the site, once cold and once at the temperature on the care label, because flannel is where cheap fabric announces itself: the nap flattens, the seam allowance frays and the collar loses its roll. A top we cannot keep looking right after two washes is not worth listing.

What we are not

This is not a wholesale outlet and there is no seasonal clear-out behind the shop front. Stock is bought in small runs and sits at this address, so when a page shows a size as available it is a garment on our shelf and not one on order.

Orders and delivery

Picking and packing takes 1-3 business days and we allow up to 15 business days with the carrier after that. Postage is estimated by distance at checkout, and the amount shown there is the amount charged.

Getting in touch

Write to us or call on a weekday. If a collar sits differently from the photograph, tell us the size you took and where the seam falls, and we will put a tape on the same size here before answering.
