About us

AVA & YVES

ava&yves stands for fine stationery on recycled paper, as well as favorite things made of fabric and porcelain   designed with a lot of heart.   The company ava & yves was founded in 2013 by Geraldine Koppmann and has its home in Steinhagen near Bielefeld.   The whole success story around ava&yves began with the lovingly designed postcards by Geraldine. The sweet motifs on the postcards were so well received by their customers that the label’s range quickly expanded. Meanwhile, our offer includes more than 1000 products and is sold internationally through more than 1300 dealers.

Geraldine

Geraldine is the managing director and owner of ava&yves and the mother of two sons. She studied graphic design in Bielefeld and worked as a graphic designer   for several years for a large international media   group.

Of course, her greatest inspiration for the design of the unusual children’s items is provided by her own children.

“The illustrations all come from me. It is very important to me that the designs have a line and create a coherent image despite the many different materials.I find it very exciting to see my designs on new materials. That’s why there are so many different products.”

OUR TEAM

Our studio and warehouse is located in Steinhagen near Bielefeld. We assemble and ship all our products ourselves from Steinhagen.

In recent months, our team has grown steadily in order to be able to offer our customers a very good service.

Our standards

We attach great importance to sustainability in the production of our products and use natural and organically certified materials wherever possible”For us, sustainable development means taking environmental aspects into account on an equal footing with social and economic aspects. Sustainable management therefore means that we must leave our children and grandchildren an intact ecological, social and economic structure. You can’t have one without the other.”
