soulful b goods • bold dents, flawless scratches
We have great news: Meet and greet with our "second love." Under this heading, you'll find soul products with dents and scratches, eager to be added to your shopping cart in full working order. We're happy that we can finally offer the soul bottles and accessories in our shop and that they're getting the attention they deserve. Find out why this is so important to us and what you can expect in this article.
Ever since the huge success of dating apps, we've known that true love and magical love at first sight are difficult matters. Perhaps this phenomenon has only existed since Hollywood, or perhaps we're all a little too shy, or our everyday lives are too busy for the magic of that first encounter. The good news: All relationship guides and couples therapists now advocate giving love at second sight a chance. The resulting relationships are happier and more resilient in the long run. And besides, people who fall in love at first sight only pay attention to external characteristics. Doesn't sound all that romantic... We can confirm that love at second sight is a special kind of thing. The same applies to our scratchy and dented soulbottles and accessories. These minor blemishes can occur during production, during transport, or in our warehouse. Despite the visual changes, all of our products, which we offer in the shop under the "second love" category, aim to be equally faithful and functional . Just like her flawless sisters.
love at second sight
Do you want to know why we insist on the love association? We simply can't bring ourselves to talk about second-hand goods , as all our products are of high quality and produced with care. We want to avoid the association with bargain basements, dumping prices, and inferior quality. Instead, functionality and stability are our top priority. As you've read, relationships with love at second sight are very well suited to this.
courage to be flawed
What does a flaw even mean? Isn't that just in the eye of the beholder? We're talking about minor damage to the surface of the soulcup, soulstraw, or soulbottle that doesn't affect functionality in any way . And that's exactly what matters to us. Each of our soul products has passed through many hands and consumed resources before arriving here in Berlin. Scratches or not – we want to consider the ecological footprint of each product. Since we place great importance on transparency, another point must also be considered: the issue of cost-effectiveness. We certainly don't make a big profit with "second love," as we offer a generous discount on all items. But it would be quite uneconomical if we didn't even cover our production costs. That would be tantamount to devaluing the entire product, and what would we do then? Dispose of it? That conflicts with our purpose. Therefore, the following offer: We're offering you up to 35% off the unique items , and you can let your eyes wander for second love.
don't leave me hanging
For example, there are some soulcups stainless steel drinking cups that have a few scratches. We overlooked the fact that the cups would scratch each other's surfaces when they were stacked inside each other for transport. So, ever since then, we've been wrapping them in paper. Learning by doing.
You can also find insulated soulbottles in various colors and designs, or from the first, not yet perfectly optimized, generation. We now also offer glass soulbottles in 0.6 l and 1.0 l. The bottles and lids have flaws such as scratches, streaks, small bubbles, or incorrectly printed designs. There are also very old designs from the collection that we have not offered for a long time but have kept as a backup. These have no flaws at all , apart from a bit of dust. Maybe you'll get lucky and get a long-missed oldie but goldie. Due to limited quantities and logistical constraints, you cannot choose the design, lid, and rubber on the glass soulbottles. However, we do make sure that everything matches in terms of color. So you get a big surprise - and you don't get those often. ;) If you order several bottles, we will put together a mix of different designs for you if possible.
also applies to the future: nobody's perfect
In the future, we're sure to add a few more soul products to our "second love" category. Because mistakes happen, of course (and fortunately?). And then there will be a few uploads every now and then—so check back often. But beware! Prepare yourself for love at second sight!
