bags that the two designers Stephanie Henzler and Anna Fuchsgruber
have designed are, with simple, but send printed motifs - and made
entirely from organic cotton. "Hand made fashionable at the moment is
right," said Katherina lime leaf. They, too, is a designer, and she
also has designed something that is mass-produced goods from the
factory far away: small, cuddly rag dolls, each one is unique.

To sell such products is not always easy. "When you have your own
business, you must first earn times the rent," says Katherina lime
leaf, who studied at the Faculty of Design at the University of
Applied Sciences Muenster. A year ago she had the idea to establish in
Munster something that has been around longer in cities such as
Hamburg or Berlin: a design market.

The premiere of "club track" became promising, the crowd was huge. And
so is the second "Design Summit" this weekend in much larger premises:
in the cafeteria at 2 Coesfelder cross. 70 designers will participate
- with products that are not found in department stores still on a
creative market. "Creative markets," says Anna Anastasova, "that's
what grandmothers and aunts." The "Design Summit" is different - young
and hip.

"For young designers, this event is a great way to present themselves
and their work," says Katherina lime leaf. And for the visitors it was
exciting and inspiring: "Some even come to borrow from the ideas."

In addition to dolls and bio-bags are available at weekends including
fashion, jewelry, accessories, T-shirts and graphics. For example, by
Mari Girkelidse who has already made full-screen Leporello, and Laura
Bischoff, who will be present with cheerful and cheeky postcards.

They were hoping for a deal, maybe even look past the one or other
entrepreneurs to discover talent. Because living products, such as
those presented in the cafeteria, is anything but simple: "Our bags
are just a side pillar," said Stephanie Henzler. The main pillar of
designer projects are commissioned.

Anna Katherina Anastasova and lime leaf, meanwhile, developed the
organization of design markets more and more promising for a project.
"We are already planning further events in other cities," says lime
leaf. And the Design Summit in Munster will be taking place even two
times a year.
