Conscious Online Destination to sell & Buy

Offering a uniquely engaging, educative and inspiring retail environment, this Swiss-based slow & ethical online marketplace stocks 100+ conscious brands primarily from Europe. Urbankissed epitomises a conscious way of living for modern women seeking to wear their values. Featuring a range of affordable, timeless and minimalist neutrals for a classic capsule wardrobe, to styles exuding vibrant colours, our highly curated store has it all. Alongside our clothes and bags made of sustainable and innovative materials, are a selection of natural beauty products, eco-friendly active- & swimwear, handcrafted homeware and jewelry made with recycled material that will get you excited about a mindful lifestyle.

This platform was founded by the Swiss Millennial Sophie Brunner in 2017 as a conscious and a curated online destination to buy and sell sustainable and ethical products and to provide the right balance between mindful yet joyful consumption. Operating with a social impact focus, this destination fully compensates the CO2 emission from delivery and allows consumers to shop according to their values while making their own value judgments through its well trusted Slow & Ethical Index.

THE FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Living in Switzerland, Sophie is a Swiss millennial who established her start-up www.urbankissed.com during her studies in Fashion Business (Bachelor of Arts - Hons) in Milan and London (2017 - 2020). Sophie got very passionate about sustainable and ethical fashion when she realized how bad the fashion industry had become as well as when she couldn’t find any platform mixing affordable, trendy and conscious clothes with an exciting customer experience. Those were the triggers to launch the first aesthetically pleasing and expressive retail environment, fully related to engaging, inspiring, educative and fresh storytelling, offering a curated, large, trendy but affordable sustainable product mix, aiming to attract “you & me” through distinctively emotional stimuli. 

As a former account manager and marketing coordinator at a Swiss bank as well as a fashion business undergraduate, Sophie has a strong commercial and creative outlook. Being silently ambitious and extremely passionate, she has been building up and managing everything on her own from the very beginning on. Sophie has started to work full-time on her start-up right after her graduation in summer 2020, pursuing now her mission together with her team to push conscious brands on a platform with the highest curation and customer experience.
