Dick Moby is an Amsterdam-based sustainable eyewear label that was founded in 2014 by Robbert Wefers-Bettink and Tim Holland. The idea to establish Dick Moby arose from their joint passion for surfing, sailing, products with a sustainable quality and design, and the desire to bring plastic pollution to an end. The brand’s most important mission is to show people that there most definitely is a positive side to plastic. Dick Moby glasses are handmade in Italy from high-quality bio-acetate and recycled acetate. In addition to making sustainable glasses, Dick Moby is continuously researching how it can make products of the highest quality possible, without creating plastic waste during the production process.

Suzanne is one of the founders of LENA the fashion library. With her background in communications and fashion she adds up perfectly to the team of three sisters.

After studying fashion & branding at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute she ended up being in a love/hate affair with fashion. Her passion for high quality, style, well made products and craftmanship grew over the years, whilst she got more and more reluctant against the concerning state the fashion industry is in.

Time for the Dutch ladies to shake things up with their innovative concept: a fashion library. A new approach on how to consume fashion by offering a borrowing system. ‘It is all about a mindset change, people need to let go of the concept of possession and embrace the sharing economy in order to really make a difference’. 

LENA opened in December 2014 and ever since Suzanne and her team are pioneering their way towards a better and more fun fashion environment! 

During her Fashion Design and Visual Culture studies, Gwen became very aware of, and increasingly uncomfortable with, the linear nature of the industry she was preparing herself for. Her drive to inspire industry change led her to Circle Economy, where she leads the Circle Textiles Program and focusses on the active development of the market for circular textiles through close collaboration with key stakeholders within the fashion and textile supply chain. She believes that a collaborative cross-supply chain approach is needed to fully realise this change and creating and nurturing these synergies is a cornerstone goal of hers.
