Responsible, regional, handmade - our business principles

Responsible processes

Responsible means: Goldener Hirsch co-operates exclusively with manufacturers using uncontaminated raw materials preferably sourced regionally or from European countries. They go easy on resources, widely avoiding waste or producing no waste at all and they forgo any use of plastic. Sales in the shop are organised according to the ‘less waste’ principle with used packaging materials.

Hand-crafted products

Goldener Hirsch prides itself on offering a product range mainly hand-crafted by small and very small businesses. These products are made to a professional craftsmanship standard, they are durable and offer high usability.

Regional approach

Goldener Hirsch offers handmade goods from workshops in Schleswig-Holstein and neighboring northern German states. Only a few products come from further afield, all of them are certified fair trade products.

Honest co-operation

Our sales staff will be happy to put customers in contact with individual arts and crafts product manufacturers, thus facilitating bespoke product manufacturing and best possible advice. Photographs on the shelves provide information on the manufacturer, what the product is made of as well as the sources of raw materials used. The sales approach at Goldener Hirsch is based on advising our customers instead of pushing for a sale at any cost.
