Shipping
We currently deliver within Germany and to selected countries outside the EU. Due to new packaging regulations, we are unfortunately not yet able to ship across Europe. We hope to change this in the future.
We dispatch orders once a week to make our processes as sustainable and efficient as possible. As soon as your order has been dispatched, you will receive a shipping confirmation by email. Within Germany, delivery then usually takes 2-5 working days.
Shipping costs within Germany are €3.95 per order. For orders over €50, shipping is free.
Products
MOTTE combines functional design with modern aesthetics.
Unlike classic cotton bandanas, a bandana made from functional fabric does not store sweat in the material. Instead, it wicks moisture away from the skin and dries significantly faster. This keeps the bandana pleasantly light, breathable, and comfortable even during intense activity.
Each print is developed in our studio and is released exclusively in limited editions. Once sold out, the same print will not be produced again. Due to individual fabric cutting, each bandana and headband has its own unique pattern placement, making it one of a kind.
In the long term, we also plan limited print collaborations with artists and designers.
With the MOTTE Run Club, we also want to create a community where every pace is welcome, and it's simply about the joy of running and camaraderie.
The bandanas can be tied individually and adjusted depending on how they are worn. Our bandanas and headbands are designed to fit most adults.
No. Although our bandanas and headbands were originally developed for running, they are designed for any form of movement beyond that.
Whether hiking, climbing, fitness, tennis or traveling - they can be worn wherever a light, breathable head covering is useful.
Of course, they don't have to be used exclusively for sports. Whether in everyday life, at festivals or simply as a fashionable accessory - wear your bandana or headband however and whenever it suits you.
We release our products in small, limited editions. This allows us to develop new prints, work creatively, and produce consciously, instead of quickly building up large inventories. Each print is released only once and will not be reproduced after it sells out.
We believe that sustainability is more than just choosing a single material. For us, it primarily means durability, conscious consumption, and developing products that are loved and worn for many years.
That's why we deliberately chose a high-quality functional fabric. Our goal is not to follow short-term trends, but to create products that combine aesthetic design with well-thought-out function, so they are used regularly and bring joy for a long time.
At the same time, we produce in small, limited quantities and design our patterns to minimize fabric waste. We currently produce both bandanas and headbands from the same fabric roll to use the material efficiently and reduce waste.
We know that hardly any product is completely sustainable. That's why we want to produce consciously, communicate transparently, and create products that make wearers happy for many years.
