Feuerwear makes a series of bags and backpacks out of old firehose. I got one of their laptop bags since last year and I absolutely love it! They also offer a repair service and give a 3-year warranty on their products.

As far as I can tell from their website, some steps of the production are done in Germany and some (mostly sewing) is done in Serbia.

Referreral code warning
I got a code that gives a 10€ reduction for new customers (and gives me the same if it's used). I'm not sure if the code can be used repeatedly, so no guarantee that it works.

Coming from reddit, just realizing how many European brands we got. I would almost say the market is saturated quite hard, but there is plenty of choice in style and cut.

I need to skim the original post and search for already given lists for further entries, also I need to add countries in a later edit. Be aware, country of origin does not mean country of production.

I am not related in any way with the company, and I am looking forward to it: the phone promises to be a good e-ink smartphone, with huge focus around conscious usage.

I'm nearly out of dishwashing soap. What are some good European brands?

I would like to find an alternative to dreft, preferably widely available in supermarkets or other common stores

Like the Titel states:

Need a replacement from Europe.

• mineral powder
• Fundation

What’s your recommendation?

Only found Seni so far, but their offer is pretty limited.

Creator: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1jp5y0p/i_made_an_app_to_scan_barcode_and_get_the_true/

I have created an app that allows to scan barcode and get the origin of the brands (with information about parent holding company if any). It also suggest EU alternatives for the product scanned.

There is already more than 1.1m product in the databases and 140k brands (out of ~150k) analyzed. The analysis is made by automatic crawlers, so there might get issue regarding that, do not hesitate to report it. Data are coming from the great OpenFoodFacts database.

Play Store (Android): Productr

Currently there is no iOS one, ~~I might create one if people are interested in the app (as App Store pricing is high, I prefer to check if people like the app before paying the fee)~~. EDIT: As a few people is requesting it and are interested, I will proceed to App Store submission for iOS version and pay the required fee. I will keep people informed about that. It should take a few days, the time I get a mac, release app and going through the validation process of Apple (it takes 48hr according to internet, so let's see if it's that fast).

I will publish a web version soon that will allow to use the app without installing it (either android or iOS).

Enjoy ! 🇪🇺

EDIT: Some more information. Cosmetic products are also available on it, but database is quite limited currently and brand crawling has just started. I plan to expand database in upcoming days.

Pet food products should be added soon too

Any good European sport watches?

Was going to buy a new run watch, and thought I would switch from Garmin to Suunto. Sent a mail to customer support, and got an auto reply that Suunto is moving operation to China. Including app and userdata 😢

Asked AI to break it down for me: This privacy policy update indicates some significant changes to how Suunto will handle your data, particularly regarding operations in China. Here's what it means for your privacy concerns:

Key Changes:

• Suunto is transferring several key operations to their Chinese group companies, including customer service, repairs, web operations, and app development
• These Chinese entities will now jointly collect and process your personal data alongside Suunto Oy (the main Finnish company)
• Data will be transferred from the EU to China, which lacks GDPR-equivalent privacy protections

Privacy Implications:

• Your personal data (likely including running routes, fitness metrics, location data, and account information) will now be processed in China
• China has significantly different data privacy laws than the EU, with fewer protections for individual privacy and more government access
• While Suunto mentions using "standard contractual clauses" (SCCs) to protect data, these are a legal mechanism that many privacy experts consider insufficient when transferring data to countries with intrusive surveillance laws

What This Means For You:

• If you purchase a Suunto watch and use their services after October 10, 2024, your data will be subject to these new arrangements
• Your running data, location information, and personal details would potentially be accessible to Chinese authorities under Chinese law
• The Chinese companies will have access to and control over many aspects of your customer experience

If privacy is a significant concern for you, you might want to:

1. Consider alternative sports watch brands with different data policies
2. Research how data localization works with specific models (some watches can function with limited cloud connectivity)
3. Review the full privacy policy to understand exactly what data is collected and how it's used

British and family owned producer of rawhide and other non-marring and sparking hammers. I've got a bunch of their stuff that I like to use for leatherworking - a big heavy rawhide hammer and a couple of lighter replaceable-face mallets.

Really good quality, very reasonably priced and quick shipment (although shipping is a bit pricey to mainland Europe, there might be local stockists however). Never had an issue with any of their products.
